About
New Blood, Fresh Stains serves as an opportunity to present the work of four, young, female artists who originate from Essex and Suffolk.Each artist has an innate drive to respond to the world in real and unreal ways; some as concrete as a pot, while others blur the line between fantasy and reality. In their own way each artist delicately wanders in the realm of spontaneity, intimacy and materiality with blood, sweat and stains.
The working Boatyard in St Osyth provides the perfect back drop for this characterful and dynamic exhibition.
About the girls.....
After spending 4 years working closely alongside the renowned potter
Pru Green, Rosie Harman has just returned from 6 months travelling and potting in South Africa, Argentina, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Mexico, Cuba and Morocco. She is now feverishly making pots at her home studio in St Osyth Boatyard. Her functional and decorative ceramics express her deep need to make sense of life and the characters within it, merging the abstract, the familiar and the sensual. In September she leaves for Cardiff University to further develop her knowledge in the field of ceramics.
Jessica Jane Charleston recently completed her postgraduate at The Royal Drawing School. Her drawings are an exploration of the self-portrait, creating artworks that reflect psychological states, often focusing on women and womanhood. She aims to carry the spontaneity of her sketchbooks through to her painting and printmaking. Jessica also runs an independent letterpress publishers called Make Mud Press.
Ishbel Mackenzie is a visual artist who works and lives in Glasgow after graduating from Painting & Printmaking at The Glasgow School of Art. Her work explores the relationship between reality and fiction in an immaterial, screen-based world. Her digital drawings, sculptures and paintings investigate the physicality of the real world and how perceptions are altered in the digital age. Ishbel is also the co-founder of Dust Studio, a handmade polymer clay jewellery brand.
After graduating from UWE Bristol with a degree in Printmaking and Drawing Tilly Worth embarked on a new self-taught project, Ore Pots. Through her love of materials, experimentation and interest in design, Tilly’s jesmonite pots are abstract, tactile and lead you into a world of storms and space.
