For Your Keeping is a solo show of new works by Jonathan Baldock. Best known for his large-scale installations, in For Your Keeping Baldock turns to a more intimate register, with a new body of small-scale sculptures. 

Made in ceramic and textile, the works take the form of votive objects, keepsakes and bodily hybrids. Baldock’s long-standing engagement with folklore, ritual and the natural world is distilled to a more personal scale, exploring ideas of care, vulnerability, containment and transformation. 

The exhibition is accompanied by an essay written by Gemma Brace, Head of Exhibitions at Arnolfini, Bristol.
