Lifting the title from William Wyler’s 1958 film The Big Country, Stephen Chambers has made a colossal print stretching across two walls of The Large Weston Room dealing with expanse, journeying and migration.

The work is made up of 78 screen-prints configured in an eccentric, irregular format.
Each of these blocks of images constitutes a vignette; depictions of encounters or solitary individuals. On a technical level, it is the fusion of the analogue and the digital.

Facing The Big Country is a series of 20 etchings: Trouble Meets Trouble. The work derives from imagined liaisons between individuals who could never have met in reality, but were they to, the results would be combustible; Kali and Loki, Angela Merkel and Don Quixote, Ned Kelly and Clarrie Grundy.

The exhibition also includes A Year of Ranting Hopelessly, a book of 365 lithographs, as well as a number of Chambers’s other graphic work.
