Alison Turnbull

The Edge of Forever at Large Glass

The Edge of Forever is an exhibition of paintings by Alison Turnbull and drawings by Emma McNally. Alison Turnbull's expansive painting series eXtreme Deep Field derives from a composite astronomical image made using the Hubble Space Telescope, eXtreme Deep Field.

For Turnbull, the Hubble image has a strong relationship with painting: "It’s a picture of time that is very densely constructed; if you looked out through a telescope you would never actually see this, and it moves photography far beyond the question of analogue or digital… Here the notion of the 'onement' of painting is set against the infinity of the image."

Opening: Thursday 12 June, 6-8pm
Show runs: 13 June - 6 September 2025
Weds-Sat, 11-6pm and by appointment
