In Transition: days to nights

Works from the Art Gallery of Peterborough Permanent Collection

As we come to the close of our 50^th anniversary year we gather works from the Permanent Collection that consider the theme of transition.

Transitions can be slow and gradual; unnoticed until a familiar point of reference becomes unfamiliar. They can be fast, causing discomfort or excitement. They can also be familiar like the ebbs and flows of the tide. The casting of refracted light across a sky as day breaks or night falls provides a symphony of change; an opportunity to pause and wonder. This exhibition celebrates these moments of transition, bringing opportunity to revel and linger in the shifts stilled by artists.
