Ormston House presents Table Turning, a solo exhibition by Susan MacWilliam, running until Saturday 21st February. Since 1997, Susan MacWilliam has had an ongoing fascination with how humans have sought to document and quantify the spirit realm. She explores the study of psychic phenomena by drawing from printed archives, scientific apparatus, and interviews with experts. This exhibition of new work has emerged out of meticulous, manual processes: the cutting, stitching, sculpting, and moulding of paper, felt, and clay. For MacWilliam, โthe realisation of ideas and objects in the studioโ is akin to โthe manifestations and materialisations of the sรฉance roomโ. More info here
