You will see
James’s Objects
James has a love for all things wood has now become his focus. A material that is so changeable, from its natural green state, as it dries, splits, fades, twists. Using saws and also flame. Allowing each piece of wood to guide him with its form and grain and allowing him to reveal his vision.
Celeste’s prints and poetry
Celeste is a writer and poet whose work focuses on the small and intricate moments of life that tell us we are alive and connected. Her blue words and drawings are a collection of people, places and moments that act as a reminder that we are all part of a magic we cannot define.
Brian Aylings’s Paintings
Brian lives and works in St Leonards / Hastings and has exhibited at the John Moores Open, The Royal Over-Seas League and the Whitechapel Open. His paintings are in private collections in the UK, Europe, USA and Mexico.
Susan Diamonds’s Paintings
Susan paints large canvases that pop! Skyscrapers meet alien women in bold colours, there's a story to tell, hidden meanings, symbolism, and a stark contrast that takes you into Susan Diamond's subconscious mind!"
