Display by Mari Johnson

The first exhibition to take place in Display will be of recent work by artist Mari Johnson and will take place from the 18th – 28th September 2020.

Mari has been prolific during lockdown, and Gaada is delighted to share some of the work she has made in the last few months, alongside selected work produced in the Gaada Workshop prior to lockdown. Mari works across drawing, painting, sound, and printmaking. Through her colourful, and energetic work, Mari explores her interest in everyday life from pop culture, animation, yoga, gardening, and country music.

Display is a new distanced outdoor gallery space located outside the Gaada workshop in Burra Isle, Shetland. Gaada welcomes visitors to view the current Display within the gravelled area outside the building, however we politely request that at this time, visitors do not enter the building without prior appointment. This ensures Gaada is able to continue maintaining a safe working environment within the workshop.
