We watched the day grow older is the first solo exhibition of Welsh painter Lara Davies. The interplay between place, memory and personal history is central to Davies’ work. In the spring of 2023, the artist traced the length of the UK on her bicycle travelling from Land’s End to John o’Groats. She was inspired to embark on this trip by her late great-aunt Margie, who made the same journey on horseback in 1949, when she only just 24 years old.
