Project Space 1: Deanna Tyson – ‘Faces of Impro and Afro Beat’. 3rd February – 9th March 2012 — Deanna is a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, a member of both the Society of Designer Craftsmen and Cambridge Open Studios. This particular body of work reflects her love of African influenced music. Through strong colours and textiles she captures the joy and vitality of Afrobeat, weaving African wax cloth through her paintings to reflect the way music is woven into our lives. In her paper and stitch Jazz portraits she reflects the unpredictability of jazz improvisation through the use of ragged, old music scores and unfinished threads. www.deanna-tyson.com — The WHITEWALL: Jamie Frost – ‘Contains Mild Peril’. 5th February – 5th March 2012 — A series of epic drawings by the award winning sculptor, Jamie Frost. “The bellows form has, through various works, evolved into something which writhes, restrains and engulfs. It also represents, for me at least, the processes of seeing and breathing. Recently, inspired by the Hellenistic sculpture Laocoon And His Sons, I have been combining these snaking forms with figurative elements. They’re not subtle works and they’re to do with struggling, which is always pretty dramatic.” www.jamiefrost.com
