Caroline Walker's Swimming Practise Featured in Wet Exhibition at Musée des Beaux-Arts Le Locle
Scottish artist Caroline Walker is set to display three of her works in the group exhibition "For One Solid Time, Wet: The Swimming Pool in the Imagination" at the Musée des Beaux-Arts Le Locle in Switzerland this fall. Among her pieces is "Swimming Practise," which captures her daughter Daphne at a Mallorca pool, emphasizing Walker's interest in leisure destinations as representations of childhood dreams. This artwork ties into her exploration of women's often unrecognized contributions to relaxation. The show will also feature Walker's "Study for Fishing" (2017), "Study for Canyon" (2018), and photographs by Peter Mallet.
