Reunion Gallery

17th February to 14th March

Louise Dawson, Samantha Doe, Emma Rowe

This exhibition features three talented textile artists all of whom are graduates of the Colchester School of Art and Design. There the common thread ends because each has developed unique and distinctive techniques in the use of textiles for decorative and practical applications. The exhibition will include innovative fashion accessories, floor coverings and one-off textile pieces.

Shorelines

24 March to 18 April

Katie Millard and Loraine Wilson

This exhibition features two artists who share a passion for the rythyms, textures and colours of the East Anglian shoreline. This exhibition brings together their complementary approaches to the interpretation of the many ways in which the elemental forces of nature can effect transitory or permanent change to this vast and living canvas. The works of both Katie and Loraine invoke a strong sense of the character and feel of our shoreline which is special to residents and visitors alike.

Claudia Boese and Sharon Murphy

Locally based German painter Claudia Boese and Irish painter Sharon Murphy met and worked along-side each other as artists-in-residence in the Irish midlands in 2007. Strong empathy and similar concerns emerged between these two artists; that of exploring and defining edges on surfaces. This exhibition re-unites both artists once again as they display their subsequent work through painting and methods of contstruction.

Andrew MacDonald

Andrew is one of the most original of he current emerging artitic talents in the region. He sees his work as an exploration of the legacies of time and process and an evocation of the more primal connections between time, memory and trace. Through the use of found objects and natural materials, both of which bear their own testament to time and process, he creates work in various forms of mixed media.
