A visual collaborative response by Sarah Cliff and Jill Laudet to William Blake’s rejection of eighteenth century materialism and exploitation, and his remedy: Golgonooza, his boundless City of Imagination. Exhibited at noformat Gallery, Deptford, 2020
In despair at the destructive and sorrowful impact of eighteenth century materialism, violent wars, the exploitation of human labour, sexual hypocrisy, moral condemnation and punitive laws, and the denial and oppression of the soul’s winged life, William Blake invoked Golgonooza, his boundless City of Imagination, the secret of life and creativity, to embrace all in unity.
