About

Jane Horton is a constant gatherer of images and objects; many of her collages, mixed media works and jewellery pieces have taken years to come together. Incongruous elements sit within the landscape of the canvas, suggesting dream like worlds and creatures, and found objects often feature within her artisan jewellery pieces. As a textile artist Jane mixes traditional methods and free style embroidery, using the needle as a drawing tool, often adding poetry in stitch. With work in private collections world wide Jane has also exhibited in the UK, Europe and the US. Stanislav Mitura came to the UK from his native Slovakia in 2005 and began as a self taught photographer in 2007, exhibiting here for the first time in the UK. Stan works towards perfection within himself and in his interpretation of the urban landscape of his adopted city of Bristol, always striving to build his own personal, visual vocabulary.
