Exhibition

Seven artists take part in our Summer exhibition each working in a different medium. An echo of form, colour, line and pattern bounce between Carolyn Genders’ ceramics and Nicky Knowles’ collage paintings. In contrast, Julie Leach facilitates ‘nature as artist’,allowing the wind to create drawn marks on paper and, together with Jacky Oliver’s metal sculptures, they swirl with monochromatic energy and movement. Natural rhythms are also brought into focus through
wood grain present in Barnaby Ash and Dru Plumb’s (Ash & Plumb) characterful vessels and fluid forms that reference those in ancient pottery while the pared back paintings of Amanda Duggan
express internal rhythms, their subtle surfaces inviting a closer look and contemplation. Lawrence Dicks’ collection of stone sculptures are connected by a sense of the tide; their rounded, pitted and hollowed surfaces are reminiscent of erosion by sea, weather and time.
