This exhibition by nine artists is the culmination of our working together for a
year as participants in a course at the City Lit, sharing ideas and discussing
our work.
About
The work on display illustrates our different ideas and practices, as does the range of materials we have employed to create our paintings, collages, photographs and ceramics.
We have called this exhibition ‘ctrl’ because we feel this key-board mnemonic encapsulates the play of tensions between exercising and letting go of control which we deal with when making work; between exercising the skills we have developed in manipulating materials, and with growing confidence in allowing surprise, spontaneity to emerge.
Our work references universal themes including the passing of time, decay, change, social, political and gender issues and we hope offers viewers a glimpse of something illusive, difficult to categorise, which lies deep inside ourselves.
