A Moonlit Marionette 🌙🖤

The next stop on our tour of the Reviving Gothic Exhibition is AnOtherness by Bath-based artist Brittany Louis, working as Morbid Merriments.

A Gothic world becomes a space to reimagine what it means to be different. Through AnOtherness, difference is reimagined not as division, but as a source of connection.

Drawing on her experience as a working-class, neurodivergent and q***r woman, Brittany explores themes of otherness, belonging and the uncanny through Atlas, a delicate, otherworldly marionette suspended in solitude within a richly imagined Gothic interior.

Created using the endangered heritage craft of marionette-making, the work also celebrates a tradition that has survived for thousands of years and is now practised by only a handful of professional makers.

Visit the exhibition to experience this haunting and thought-provoking piece for yourself.

“Standing in the chapel, I watched the light shift across the floor and realised the glass was designed not just to be seen, but to be felt.” - BU Student

In the Gothic chapel of Tyntesfield, light is more than illumination. Passing through stained glass, it becomes a language of faith.

Figures from biblical stories glow in deep reds, purples and blues, transforming the chapel interior into a space where architecture, devotion and imagination meet.

At Tyntesfield, this idea lives in every detail, from glowing stained glass and carved oak furniture to the small ritual objects used in worship.

Which object in a sacred space speaks most powerfully to you – light, material, colour, or symbol?

If you visited Tyntesfield last week, you may have spotted some live art in action 🎨

Botanical Vandals have been on site creating their bold new contribution to Reviving Gothic - spray painting a striking Gothic-inspired triptych live on large wooden canvases outside Tyntesfield House.

They’ll be back tomorrow on the veranda adding the final touches to their contemporary Gothic graffiti 👀

The finished works will then move into the exhibition in the Drawing Room from early June.
