Gallery 2 | Imagining here from elsewhere Olivia Gates Olivia Gates used her residency at M16 to create glass tools that could be brought out into the landscape to be painted and printed in place. First sculpting glass roller forms from wax, Gates casts recycled CRT Television screens to create a surface and weight appropriate for watercolour monotype printing.
