About
Artists participating in the exhibition include Ian Gorton, Tina Mammoser, Sally Stafford and Graham Wilde with contributions from Marion Campbell, Matthew Day, Nicola Jedrzejzcak and Kathy Priddis.
Ian writes: 'Mycelium (think mushroom “roots”) forms an underground network that connects between an individual tree and the Fungi exchanging nutrients and water. Recent research has shown that exchange between individual trees (via the mycelium) is also taking place, including the probability that mature trees are nurturing seedlings during their early growth years. The mycelium network has coined the phrase “Wood Wide Web” akin to the familiar World Wide Web. This basic idea I see as similar to the way many artists and creative people work, with the creative seeming to be the “trees” and acting individually; while below the surface ideas, inspiration, etc.. are passing intellectual and artistic “foods” between us all.
I am inviting a small select number of artists to participate in this group exhibition, ideally responding the theme outlined above, but not exclusively limited by it.
Invited artists are to be from many levels of experience, some well known in the locality, others new to the area and working through a diversity of different media, predominantly 2D.'
