A fascinating exhibition exploring the theme of Land and its many interpretations – land in its physical form of landscape and all its surroundings, and place as an emotional and incorporeal entity. The work on display includes Sally Muir’s paintings of invented landscapes in which she gives them the names of fictitious places. Valerie Rutley-Paine prints capture complexity of form through simple line. Natalie Williams’ work combine elements of the everyday with the transient, the solidity and structure of buildings, trees, and chimneys with the mutability of snow, rainbows, starlight and the movement of birds and butterflies. The work is neither representational nor narrative, but is concerned with mystery and beauty.Madeleine Town's work is concerned with the mysteries and rhythms of the natural landscape to create a world of colour and feeling for her imagined landscape. Angela's work, on the other hand, explores issues of Diaspora with focus on the displaced home, discovery of place and self. Being ungrounded in a familiar yet foreign land compels Lai Yen to respond to her immediate physical surroundings: engaging with fabric to make sense of these supposedly intimate spaces.Lastly Poppy Pitt’s work is focused on the body and its presence; Poppy uses stitch to explore the landscape of relationships that human bodies create as they move through their environment.
