Dales and Dames
26 May – 6 July 2018
Lois Brothwell has always prioritised life-drawing and believes working from the model requires not only well-honed technical skills but also the intuition to capture the model’s spirit. Among her many favourite artists are Kandinsky and Egon Schiele. Painting imagined figures is currently a particular enjoyment.
Of ‘Dales and Dames’, Lois says, “Hiking in The Yorkshire Dales is for me a joyous and liberating experience. The question for me as an artist is how to communicate such a heady sensation?
My answer is by painting ecstatic women galloping on horseback, tossing their garments and inhibitions to the wind!”

8 July 2018 – 8 September 2018
Objects originate and evolve over time, even millennia, and yet ultimately return to what they came out of. ARCHAOS explores the duality of creation and decay. It’s about the evolutionary process, the evolving complexity and intricacy and sophistication of what is created, alongside the decay, destruction, dismantling, reduction of all things back to their origin.
Artist Ingrid Stephenson says: “ I do what I do because I enjoy the process of making. I live close to the land and the sea and use what I find there. I like to look forensically at a found object – peel it back, identify what processes or treatment it has undergone; whether it has been hammered or worn. I like to see how things degrade. My subject-matter tends to be bleak because my materials include dead things, bone, metals, and things in the process of decaying. Sometimes there is a dark humour in decay.”
Canada calling
8 September 2018 – 9 November 2018
Canadian mixed media artist Carol Howard Donati works with fabric, paint, print, and recycled household materials.
An anthropologist by training, the focus of her art is everyday life and how it provides the framework for our human experience.
This mixed media collage installation aims to connect the artist to our local community from a continent away.
Carol says: “The world is an increasingly small place: We are drawn together, not just by technology and travel, but also by our common human interests, daily activities, and overlapping histories and cultures.”
“I am inspired by connections of heritage, culture and commonwealth and the opportunity to provide a personal presence in your community”.
