Robert Foster-Jones: An echo imprinted

Bringing together work in ceramics and sound, with results
from experiments in photogrammetry software, An echo imprinted reflects on the cave as a point of origin, both culturally and spiritually.  

The installation draws upon Foster-Jones’ recent experiences of becoming a father himself and the loss of his own father, to contemplate how we remember, commemorate, and how fleeting memories 
can leave an indelible mark, or become abstracted in time.  

A performance at Wysing’s outdoor grounds marked the opening of An echo imprinted on 16 October.  

The exhibition runs in tandem with and then, a harrowing, bringing together work by Linda Stupart, Carl Gent and Kelechi Anucha.

An echo imprinted is supported by Arts Council England.

Robert Foster-Jones (b. 1989, Wegberg, Germany) is an artist based in Cambridgeshire and has been a studio artist at Wysing Arts Centre since 2017. His work explores the role of the artist as a conduit for revealing hidden forms of knowledge.

Foster-Jones is interested in different religious practices and spiritual beliefs, using influences from his research to create work in sculpture, installation, text and performance.
