Rise is an ambitious first solo museum exhibition by LR Vandy, created for The Weston Gallery with many works made on site at YSP.

Vandy has transformed the gallery into an immersive environment dominated by a soaring rope maypole. The twisting structure draws on the idea of the maypole as a site of communal gathering, ritual, and collective movement. Using the form and texture of rope, Vandy's work explores the textile industry’s role in Britain’s industrial history, and ongoing examination of labour, pattern, and material legacy.
