Paintings by Jo Pryor – Jo Pryor lives and works in Great Torrington. Taking friendship as her theme she paints bold buxom women. Her work is a celebration of colour, pattern, texture and shape, inspired by swatches of fabric, costumed dolls, little silk boxes, embroidered hats and jeweled purses. Combining coolie hats and flowing kimonos with ruffles, bows and boots, her paintings remain an unsubtle mixture of style and costume that belongs to no one place or time. Textiles by Janice Myers – For the last 8 years Janice has been experimenting and exhibiting work using unconventional materials such as plastics, polythenes and plastic tubing ( which she colours and fuses). She also uses rubber, metals, wire and found items of plastic. Hand stitching is generally worked with fishing line, wire or strips of polythene and she uses a computerised sewing machine for other details.
