Open Evening: Thursday 14th June, 6.00-8.00pm
An exploration of the ways in which printmaking can inhabit a sculptural space.
The first solo exhibition by emerging installation printmaker Alice Card-Hall.
Printed scrolls of paper are draped, wrapped and rolled, manoeuvring and flowing
through the gallery space. Shapes created by these compositions inspire line-work
from which new print plates are born, and the cycle of print, installation and reconstruction
continues!
Lino and wood cuts build up oscillating designs, and monoprints dissolve into white:
Each print seen here is hand pressed by the artist. The resulting tonal qualities
make each edition individual despite the reuse of print plates. This creates a playful
relationship between ideas of autonomy and mass production of artworks.
Mapping the Inner World: Beverley Ferguson
Thursday 5th July –Wednesday 11th July 12.00-5.00pm
Open Evening: Thursday 5th July 6-8.00pm: Open Evening
Using paper medical notes both in my work and as starting points I create a visual
narrative for my experiences in the mental health system. I respond to and explore
through a variety of textures: paper, textiles, sound and mixed media the notion
of ‘sections.’ How it feels to be separated and cut off from the outside world by
illness informs much of my work. It is also a celebration of life, as renewal and
vitality return. These changing patterns are expressed by my use of design, form,
colour and rhythm. The creative process enables me to begin to build bridges,
making a map for my inner world.
This exhibition is the culmination of Alice’s residency at Bath Artist Studios’,
showcasing a range of prints which fall somewhere between image and object.
Friday 6th July 12.30-1.30pm: ‘In conversation’ with Beverley Ferguson & Fay
Stevens. Fay is an academic, curator, artist and writer.
