Virginia Ray’s paintings and Jessica Jordan’s
ceramic explore ideas of landscape and
change, caused either by man or nature.
Jessica uses aerial views of the
downs, looking at the changing
landscape through the seasons.
She explores corroded surfaces, the
contrast of rough and smooth line,
patterns and texture that are found
on stones, wood, glass and metal
that have been weathered and
broken down from natural erosion.
Known for selecting contemporary craft
of the highest quality and skills, we are
delighted to present new work by:

Virginia’s work seeks
to confirm the idea
that landscape is
first and foremost
a site of history, a
documentation
of life and events
that are deeply
interwoven
with man.
In her vibrant abstract paintings Lesley
explores the materiality and spirituality
of life.
She has drawn inspiration from scientific theories
such as chaos and superstring theories as well
as from visits to India, Laos and Cambodia.
Lesley makes work that is contemplative and
invites curiosity.

The Rhythm of Life:1 February – 16 March
Louise Davies is a painter
and printmaker.
Her prints are concerned with
the landscape: some based on
childhood memories, reflecting on
the countryside and coast of the
west of England. She combines layers
of strong translucent colour with a
sensitive line drawing and calligraphic
marks, portraying the fluidity of the
ever changing elements of nature.
She was awarded the Curwen Print
Prize in 2012.
Translucent Colour:
22 February – 4 April

Winner of Rising Stars 2012
Professional Development Award
Influenced by her research into early 1700s
Japanese tableware and Italian architecture,
Michelle’s work explores these forms in porcelain.
Through carefully constructed geometry and
optical effects, she recreates evocative and
abstract architectural ideas.
