‘THROUGH A GLASS BRIGHTLY’
14th May to 15th July 2006
ELAINE PAMPHILON | |||||||||
Dividing her time between studios in Cambridge and St Ives, Elaine brings to her mixed media paintings the freshness of two outlooks. Small groups of cherished objects on windowsills are a favourite theme, giving the further vision of a near or distant view through the window. A popular artist, Elaine has enjoyed many successful solo shows at galleries up and down the country, as well as previously at Yew Tree. enquire |

SUE BINNS | ||||||||||
|
Well-known for her distinctive blue striped domestic stoneware, Sue has made several large pieces for this show, as well as her familiar bowls, teapots, jugs and plates. Japanese fabrics and ceramics have been an inspiration but it is mainly 1950s Rye Pottery, which delighted her as a child, that now she retains as a stimulus.

ROBINA JACK | |||||||||
Robina creates her striking glass panels by acid-etching flash glass and layering one piece upon another to build up a rich image reminiscent of patterned fabric brought alive through the play of light through the colour. Sea birds, animals and folksy motifs, often with a humorous twist, are among favourite subjects. enquire |

DIANA BARRACLOUGH |
||||||||||
| In her colourful, abstract ceramic wall pieces, Diana uses different clays almost as collage, building up a pattern of colour and movement in three series of work, inspired by walks along the Cornish coast path, gardens and sea birds. Similar techniques are used in her tall totems. enquire
|
KATE LOVEDAY | |||||
|
Many of Kate’s semi-abstract paintings show her love of plants and of the patterns and textures of old fabrics. She uses oil on card and board and scrapes back the layers so that hints of previous incarnations appear in the finished work. enquire |

|
SHEILA STAFFORD |
|||||
| Memories of her 20 years in Cornwall enter Sheila’s small oils, despite her current surroundings in West Wales. By flattening perspective she gives an unusual flavour to her intimate domestic subjects, with often a glimpse of the sea through a window. enquire |

JAMES BARNSLEY |
Both architect and artist, James uses malleable carbon fibre poles to create sculptures which sway in the wind, moving from apparent equilibrium to total chaos and back again. Lights can be attached to the tips, giving a mesmerising effect in darkness. enquire |
