Hannah Greenaway

A fascination for the social and economic history of cloth and costume underpins the sculpture of Hannah Greenaway. She gathers inspiration from paintings, artifacts and museum collections, exploring the status, wealth and origin of cloth as it has evelved over time and across cultures. Her work is made out of recycled plastics, which she knits into lengths of fabric and then melts over prepared plaster or wire moulds. The resulting life size figures or busts create a strong physical presence, suggestive both of body armour and the quieter,gentle strength of women.

Sue Platt

The dark wooden frames of Sue Platt's assemblage works are heavy with a sense of timelessness, creating the atmosphere of a museum or sarcophagus. Their collections of curious, unfamiliar and intriguing objects allude to museology and science, reminding us of the profound human desire for knowledge. The disparate fragments of paper and lace, locks of hair, latex and pieces of x-ray have been reassembled to create new realities and meanaings. Thet are mysteries, to be discovered and explored.

Jill Randall

Remembered, imagined and collected objects from specific locations form the material which Jill Randall creates her art works. Her motivation is to connect objects with asense of place, enjoying the associations and memories that objects can often trigger. The works have the power to arouse feelings of loss, melancholy or nostalgia. They are constructed from broken and discarded fragments, or expensive or precious objects deliberatly spoiled. Her assemblages explore ideas about value - the sense that a relic is valuable, 'irrespective of monetary worth because of where it has been and with whom it is associated, the 'cargo' of its journey, be it real or metaphorical.'

Ian Walton

Ian Walton's art is an intuative physical exploration of surface texture. His works vary in scale, evoking the overwhelming atmospheric effects of vast landscapes or preserving tiny moments in time, enabling the viewer to contemplate the mystery and experience of existence. His art has spirituality that resonates with a sense of time passing, of human frailty. In the process of connecting found fragments from nature with infinite combinations of media, he creates a visual narrative evoking incidents, places and memories.
