Chimera - Exhibition at The Edge
2025-10-04 - 2025-11-01 | The Edge Cafe, 351 Mill Road, Cambridge, CB1 3DF
Taking place at The Edge Cafe, 351 Mill Road, Cambridge CB1 3DF
Open Mon – Sat. 09.00 – 16.00
Ian Rawlinson’s Chimera series is inspired by a black-and-white film clip of the last Thylacine in captivity. This film prompted Rawlinson to create images which deal with ideas of a vanished past: transformation and memory.
The new prints combine part of the now-extinct Thylacine with places in Cambridge from Rawlinson’s past, primarily Arbury and King’s Hedges. These places have a nostalgic feeling and are reminders of a childhood spent in and around the newly created housing, the nearby farmland and derelict army base. The idea that the Thylacine is gone reflects his feelings about childhood, coupled with an intense longing to see the past once again, this time from the vantage point of the present.
