I Thought I Saw Something Beautiful

In the month of October 2012 Ian organized an art exhibition/event called. ‘I Thought I saw Something Beautiful.’ Which was held in derelict  Mansion. The concept of this event was to create an experience which was similar to walking onto the movie set  of a horror film. The exhibition I Thought I Saw Something Beautiful was a collaborative project which involved filmmakers, sculptors, photographers and writers. Ian Wadsworth created for this exhibition large anatomy drawing which incorporated esoteric symbols.

I Thought I Saw Something

In 2013 Ian organized the follow up art exhibition to ‘I Thought I Saw Something Beautiful.’ It was called ‘I Thought I saw something.’ This time the event was held in a forest at night. This again was a collaborative project. In preparation for this exhibition Ian would do heavy research into the occult and made regular visits to the Museum of Witchcraft in Cornwall and reading extensively books such as 'The Golden Bough. 'Through out the event Ian would incorporate esoteric symbolism into the environment of the woods. He developed a fictional storyline for the event and created tattooed  calf leather wraps and shrines.
