“Somewhere within the terrain of these coupled quotes is where these works inhabit. Elementals are visually paired images. They started life elsewhere, from another source. They are second hand, borrowed from magazines and books. The found images are my medium and once removed from their original context they become forms and colours to work with. […]

Elaine Marshall says, "I specialise in etching and relief printmaking, and I am inspired by patterns, either man-made as in mazes, labyrinths and Islamic concepts, or by natural forms in the landscape, images of imaginary butterflies, snowflakes, doves and foxes, and by my travels in France, Italy, Morocco and Nepal".

This exhibition is a collection of varied works produced over four months.  Harriet Brittaine is fascinated by the human form, in all its complexities, strengths, eccentricities and weaknesses.

Brittaine, who works mainly in oils, is fascinated by the play of light in […]

The title of Phoebe Unwin’s exhibition Pregnant Landscape simultaneously invokes the traditions of portraiture and landscape painting. It also imbues the idea of a landscape with a sense of the bodily, as pregnancy suggests gestation and fecundity. Unwin does not work from pre-existing images or photographs, and the frenetic circulation of visual materials in 2.0 […]

Relative Strength, is a site specific installation of video and ceramic works by Phoebe Collings­-James. The installation presents objects as if suspended in motion, or repurposed outside their standard material form. Some of the objects hold water, others soil, plastic or cacti, listening to the cycle of degradation. Collings-James’ strategy of display is akin to that […]
