The Shape of Things - Bronia Gardner - The Station

In this exhibition, Bronia presents a collection of works that explore the relationships between domestic objects, architectural structures and botanical forms. Beginning with her own photographs, she uses digital painting, drawing, printmaking and mixed-media processes to transform familiar subjects, including chairs, bicycles, floral elements and fragments of architecture, into layered and interconnected compositions.

Through a process of selection, deconstruction and reconstruction, recognisable forms are reimagined and combined in unexpected ways. Architectural elements provide structure, while organic forms introduce movement and growth, creating a dialogue between the constructed and the natural.

Bronia’s work is rooted in close observation of the everyday environment, yet moves beyond representation to investigate pattern, connection and visual balance. The resulting compositions invite viewers to look again at ordinary objects and spaces, revealing complexity, beauty and unexpected relationships within the familiar world around them.
