The Royal Standard: A Dream of Home

‘A Dream of Home,’ is the first solo exhibition from local Contemporary Artist Amy Donegan, and marks the end of her graduate Residency with The Royal Standard. The exhibition aims to present a multifaceted multi-disciplinary surrealist outlook on familiar locations and people, and the influences each has on the sense of self identity. By blending imagery with object, childlike drawings with sculpture, and in some incidences using building site grade materials, audiences can peel back the glossy facade of often meticulously constructed works to find a dissection of the memory’s influence on our most intimate spaces and the influence that family, working-class structures, and social norms have on us. Embellishing memories, the work aims to speak to our collective natural tendency to gravitate towards any kind of link to the past, and explore physical anchors that bring forth the melancholy sense of nostalgia.

Location: The Royal Standard, Northern Lights, Cains Brewery Village, 3 Mann Street, Liverpool L8 5AF
