The artists first met at Kingston University, although Gina Rattee and Faye Gilding studied together at Kingston College. The works being exhibited are compelling and distinctive, reflecting their diverse philosophies as well as their use of differing media including photography, painting, glass and computer technology.
The bold contemporary glass sculptures of Janet Sinclair are colourful and provocative channelling light through their subtle forms and textures. Linear metal sculptures capture movement inspired by the sea, dancers and swimmers.
Faye Gilding’s large scale, dramatic orchids aim to question perceptions of beauty by emphasising the more repulsive characteristics; distorted, unsightly human features equate with man’s intervention and mistreatment of nature.
Gina Rattee has been exploring connections between vision and mental processes. Recent works are based in photography but have evolved through the introduction of computer technology and paint.
Jo Parker’s photography captures spontaneous moments of everyday life, events and places. Nit always in full focus, they hide any identity. Her images, often quiet and reflective, stimulate memories, invoking empathy in the viewer
