MAGGIE BARNES:
Maggie recently completed a two-year study of the Japanese ceramic technique, Nerikomi. The outcomes from this research now form a separate strand of production to an already successful practice spanning more than thirty years, and offer a fascinating contrast to her pure white sculptural porcelain and hand-made paper. Marine life, geology, and palaeontology still inspire and inform her work; the Nerikomi series owes much to her research exploration into Japanese textiles, crafts, and Samurai armour.
MARTIN HUXTER:
.. is waiting until the last minute to decide what to show.. so you'll have to come and see!
DEBBIE LOANE:
Current work is focussing on reading the landscape and history around 'Hambleton Street', an ancient drove route running from Olstead north along the Cleveland Hills. To one side is the Vale of York and the Pennines, whilst to the north and west stretch the North York Moors. Resulting work takes the form of drawings in a variety of black and white media, as well as larger scale pieces in a variety of media, often incorporating materials and minerals collected on site.
