Natalie Low (with Ed Arantus) - Flight Exhibition

 

Natalie Low

Welcome to the Flight Exhibition, a selection of artists’ mobiles celebrating Dagenham’s history of aviation and its transmigratory population. Eleven artists and eleven writers explore this multi-layered theme during March and April at the Pink Tardis Gallery, Heathway Shopping Centre, Dagenham. 

Stare through the Pink Tardis window and marvel at these suspended sculptures, prototypes, and conceptual clouds. If you can't see the exhibition in person then don't worry, we'll be featuring all seventeen artworks here on the website. Every artwork has its very own dedicated writer, and we'll publish their responses here throughout March and April 2026.

Today is our penultimate artwork from the Pink Tardis Gallery and we bring you a knitted sculpture by artist Natalie Low. Natalie's mysterious planet-like mobile slowly rotates to reveal it's two sides with motifs reminiscent of growth and clouds.

Our writer today is the conceptual artist Ed Arantus who provides the words to accompany Natalie's artwork.

Black Sun 

I realised I would never know until I turned out the light

The faintest idea in the bulb afterglow

When it wants to die, where does the Sun go

 

Appreciating what was good after it had gone

I regret your faint memory on flickering eye

Dead or alive, where do our dreams fly

 

Before it was lost in that frail waking haze,

I knew that I saw you, and then I forgot

Lights on, lights off, the haves and have nots
