Exhibition Details

In old Kentish dialect “Alleycumfee” means a fictitious place, an imaginary destination you named when pressed with unwanted questions about where you were travelling to. Sara Trillo uses the term Alleycumfee to name spaces within the Kentish landscape; places which, although inspired by ancient sites of human activity, have now largely vanished and for the most part exist only in the imagination. The work represents the artist’s quest to visit what remains of these locations and fuse this experience with research into their histories to create the work shown here. The different types of places Trillo has explored in this exhibition represent diverse aspects of the county’s topography: the sea, the coast, and the subterranean.
