The Long Room

Dichotomy of Reality

RIONA TINDAL

L-R Frog in Reed (detail) mixed media on paper, Doryanthus (detail) watercolour on paper, Watagan's Field Illustration (detail) watercolour and pencil on paper

This exhibition is an exploration of the concept of natural history illustration into something tangible and relevant to a modern audience. Too often we forget traditional methods and practices and by utilising older art traditions I hope to give new meaning to the modern concept of nature. The artworks are essentially a collection of communicative media demonstrating my passion for nature.Riona Tindal

Things Not Said

BREONY DELFORCE

L - R Tea for one (detail) photograph; Faded Memory Chair and Faded Memory Dressing Gown (detail) fibre paper, acetate, interfacing; Sid (detail) photograph

This exhibition explores the death of memory and the convoluted relationships which face every family. Things Not Said captures the still, expected ambience of each day passing, waiting for the time to end. It is a preservation of the things which become lost in the fog of time; an embodiment of growing old and tired and the fear of being alone. Breony Delforce

The Hoist

Creative Journeys

STACEY DEEM & JODIE PASCOE

Stacey Deem Pebbly Beach, Forster (detail) acrylic on three canvas panels,
Dynamism of a Surfer 1 (detail), ceramic

Jodie Pascoe Dusk till Dawn (detail) mixed media,
Mosaic madness (detail), acrylic on canvas

This exhibition aims to express a feeling of joy and the celebration of creative art in all its adversities and simplicities. Our work explores a variety of art disciplines. Colour and imagination is observed in these works as we continue to develop our own techniques and individual styles. Together these works will emanate energy, that strange power that pulls the audience in. Stacey Deem & Jodie Pascoe

Glimpses
ADAM HENDRIKSEN

Glimpses is a collection of works from nine months abroad surrounded by hitch-hiking and adventures throughout Europe. Inspired by friends, experiences, cultures and memories it demonstrates my personal journey as much as any diary or photo album could. Most pieces have stories attached and I believe that you can see my style developing through these works. Adam Hendriksen
