Daniella Turbin
A Place to Return To  

Daniella documented her daily experiences of the walk through analogue photography, diary and logbook entries and posts on Instagram and since her return home, has been editing this material into a book which inspired the new work for her solo exhibition.  

An environment constructed from paper and drawings has been created in the gallery space, using a monochrome colour palette informed by the materials of the artist’s practice. A large collage chronicling the journey is painted, pasted and drawn directly onto the walls, these processes making reference to the urban environment. Hand-drawn maps are displayed in groups, not arranged according to traditional areas or counties, but to reflect the different phases of the artist’s walk. Daniella’s basecamp – her tent and personal belongings have been reconstructed in paper and pitched atop a grid for a map drawn onto the gallery floor.  

The artist will be at the Gallery once a week throughout the run of the exhibition, adding drawings to the giant map grid the gallery floor – informed by the editing of her book about her walk. 

Accompanying her exhibition, Daniella Turbin recorded 18 audio files to provide further insight into her year long walk around the whole of Great Britain.
