We’re delighted to host Images of Broken Light Which Dance Before Me, a photographic exhibition by emerging artist Tommy Tetley
Shot over the past three years, Tommy’s work travels from Bristol’s energetic dancefloors to the misty canals of Bath and the diverse landscapes of South America. Developed through traditional darkroom techniques, each handmade silver gelatin print reveals intricate detail, striking contrasts, and moments of light that might otherwise go unnoticed.
The exhibition traces Tommy’s journey as a photographer, beginning within music communities where he first found direction, through his travels abroad, and finally arriving back in Bath, where fleeting weather conditions created a series of atmospheric final images.
Supporting student and emerging artists has always been part of The Island’s story. We are a place to test ideas, take creative risks, develop new work, and share it with the public. Whether it’s a first exhibition or the next step in an evolving practice, we’re proud to provide a space where creativity can grow.
