Art and Rivers
21 October - 13 November 2022
The second multi-disciplinary exhibition in our ‘Art and Environment’ series, focussing on the breadth of UK rivers and waterways. The theme is explored through printmaking, photography, ceramics and paintings to highlight the landscapes and wildlife that inhabit these diverse ecosystems.
When we were thinking about how to develop Fen Ditton Gallery’s annual Art and Environment shows, we looked back at themes from the past four years (Trees, Birds, Plantlife and Water/Land/Fenlands) so it was, in some senses, no surprise that Rivers emerged as the 2022 theme: rivers are closely associated with all of the above! The location of the gallery made the theme particularly pertinent, linked as it is to central Cambridge by the River Cam and the historic development of Fen Ditton as a village relied on access to the river.
Rivers can provide artists not only with subject matter but also an imaginative and deep connection to human culture through time since all human histories, globally, have evolved, as here in Fen Ditton, by people making use of the opportunities brought by the flow of rivers.
A percentage of sales of works from the exhibitions will go towards supporting sustainable river projects in East Anglia.

LOTTE ATTWOOD b.1952 is a Cambridge artist who specialises in black and white film photography drawn, she says, to the potential of the medium to capture a particular atmosphere of land and buildings. In 2018 she established Fen Ditton Gallery focussing on a dynamic programme with an increasing emphasis on art inspired by a connection to the natural world.
I am always drawn to photographing environments that maybe lost or changed. My first exhibition, Cambridge Darkroom 1987, was of local allotment sheds, many of these extraordinary, vernacular structures have now disappeared. I have visited the River Deben on several occasions recently, drawn to capture the different traces of river lives.
