UK: Independent and Boarding school for girls, Sherborne Girls is delighted to open a new exhibition of work by Old Girl Pandora Covell WD 17 in the Wirth Gallery at Sherborne Girls on Friday, November 3, 2023.
Pandora studied Fine Art at Chelsea College of Arts, UAL, before completing a master’s at the Royal College of Art.
Sherborne Girls recognised and cherished Pandora’s work and honoured her for her excellent painting skills. Painting is at the heart of Pandora’s process.
Opening about her skills, she writes, ‘I see each individual element of my practice as a seed that can grow.
“This way of working provides me with the possibility to move freely, exist, shift and transform from one form of expression or given object to another.”
“I see the artist as a ‘gatherer’ – who observes, collects and finds interesting correlations between objects, materials, form, lines and colour.”
“I use my practice as a form of investigation which allows my thoughts and ideas to come to light, leading me to see expanded painting as a sort of vessel that can combine and create new narratives and hold meaning,” she continued.
The Sherborne Girls also urged people to join them for the opening night on Friday, November 3, 2023. “Please RSVP to Lillie Ayres (Artist in Residence) via l.ayres@sherborne.com. Doors open at 5.30 pm. Please do come along and support one of our old girls,” they further asserted.
Reportedly, Sherborne Girls often remains active in various activities and events. It comes as an opportunity for the Sherborne School Girls to grow themselves.
Sherborne’s U6 English Literature pupils recently travelled to London to visit Shakespeare’s Globe and The Garrick Theatre. The U6 visited London for a guided tour of Shakespeare’s Globe and an on-site museum.
The girls had an opportunity to try on costumes from past productions, followed by a very informative and enjoyable literary walking tour of the South Bank in the autumn sunshine.
