The Darkroom presents Scaling the Untold, An Expedition of A Making, a solo show by Dublin-based visual artist Wendy Judge.
Wendy Judge is a visual artist working with sculpture, photography and drawing each informing the other. Her work revolves around the landscape and all that it entails. She is driven by the literature and the terrain it holds.
At the start of 2020 Judge was awarded a supported travel residency through the darkroom.ie to explore the landscapes around her. It was a simple idea of capturing landforms across changing counties and bringing them back to the studio to tie them into my sculptural practice. This project was negotiated through rolling lockdowns as county borders closed around me. In making this epic journey I took heed from Dr William Dyer of Miskatonic University and was to discern one can never have too many notebooks of sketching paper or film to capture what might unfold. (At The Mountains of Madness by HP Lovecraft)
