Nature Machine

20 April – 1 September 2023

Level Centre

Rowsley, Derbyshire

The Brew Projects team returned to LEVEL in the summer of 2023 following their Residency Lab project, The Fun Machine in Summer, 2022. The collective including Elizabeth Lambert and Laura Mabbutt built on their previous project, continuing to create accessible experiences for audiences, including those with disabilities and who experience social isolation. This 6 month long exhibition celebrates the area’s local biodiversity and local history and has been inspired by the artists’ trips to Derbyshire including their visits to the Nine Ladies Stone Circle and Bakewell House Museum.

The exhibition was full of sensory experiences including artworks that visitors could touch as well as see and hear. The experience blends Brew’s background in craft and design with their experimental practice in working with digital technologies, providing elements of digital artwork that visitors can interact with.

Images below have been captured by photographers Fiona Allen and David John King.
