Description

Geraldine Clarkson's Medlars explores the darker aspects of England, mapping them onto urban landscapes and rural narratives. A central theme is the idea that even in decay, there lies potential for renewal. The aromatic medlar fruit, often considered inedible until it has rotted, serves as a metaphor for this process. Clarkson delves into themes of xenophobia, hypocrisy, and the search for sweetness in a world that can be both chaotic and regenerative. Through her exploration of nature's power to disrupt patterns, Clarkson offers a fugitive hope for change and transformation.
