Witch Hunt Delaine Le Bas 5 September - 1 November 2009 Preview: Saturday 5 September, 2-4pm Witches, Gypsies and hunting. In combination these three staple sources of hysteria, excitement and persecution assume peculiarly British airs, and British anti-graces. Delaine Le Bas weaves and dyes these themes, painting life-size lines around the witches that in England were never burned as they were on the continent, but drowned, hanged and left in cold open fields. As part of the UK Romany community (Roma being the largest ethnic minority in Europe) Delaine Le Bas’s installations of found objects and textile techniques, deal with issues of racism, sexism, bigotry, mis-representation, hypocrisy, transitional displacement, homelessness and the horrors that face many people everyday in the world we live in. Delaine Le Bas’s work was included in Paradise Lost, The First Roma Pavilion, Venice Biennale 2007, Refusing Exclusion, Prague Biennale 3, Prague 2007, Living Together, Montehermoso, Vitoria Gastiez, Spain (Curated by Emma Dexter and Xabier Arakistan). She is represented by Galleria Sonia Rosso, Turin and Galerie Giti Nourbakhsch, Berlin and lives and works in Worthing.
