REFLECTIONS and Impressions is the title of the latest exhibition at the Foal Yard Gallery, Bransford, featuring wood and linocuts, ceramics and sculptures.
Worcester lettercutter and printmaker Stan Greer has combined his skills to create limited edition prints which explore the illusions, metaphors and ambiguities of language in visual terms.
Stan studied modern languages at Trinity College, Dublin, and later at the State School of Woodcarving and Sculpture in Germany.
This unusual combination has developed his ability to find a close link between the form and content of text and to choose letterforms that express the meaning of a given piece of writing.
Kelly Gummerson, from Hereford, has used coil techniques to produce rounded ceramic vessels inspired by primitive pot shapes, seedpods and fruit. The emphasis of her work is on form, rather than any ornamentation or surface decoration, which is reflected in the smoothly curved surfaces of her pieces.
Tom Brown, a sculptor from Bristol, often chooses animals, both real and mythical, as the subject for his work. He works in ceramic, carved wood, carved stone and copper to create pieces influenced and inspired by the cultural artefacts left behind by ancient and distant civilisations.
The Foal Yard Gallery is set in a recently-converted barn and its layout is based on the rooms of a normal house, with the work of exhibiting artists displayed amongst a collection of crafts and contemporary designs for the home. It was opened in October last year by craft designer Jeremy Cornwell.
The exhibition continues until Saturday, July 21, 9am to 5pm, Monday to Saturday.
