Mike
Bowdidge uses found objects to extemporise large assemblages,
structures which evolve from a direct interaction with the materials
at hand. In "Lost and Found" the Artist sets out on a
series of unexpected artistic departures and arrivals, which at most
may shed some dim light on the reasons for making the journey in the
first place
 
Ola
Rek| A Forest
Date 15-28th
October
Drawing
on the imagery of nature and folklore, Ola Rek's installations evoke
the tranquil yet uncanny atmosphere of a woodland setting. For this
show, the remains of trees and plants will be relocated within the
gallery to create a contained bubble of organic forms. In forcing
these natural artefacts to exist outwith their usual environment Rek
simultaneously forces the gallery patrons to reconsider their own.
