About This Artwork

‘”For me, there is no threshold of consciousness, more of a sliding scale that extends right through from us to the very bacteria that co-exist in our bodies. To believe anything else would mean the existence of something fanciful … like god or alien ancestry". This piece is made with lead wheel balancing clips picked up from the roads where they have fallen from cars. Edition of 8

About This Artwork

Lynn is a designer and maker of metal and wire sculpture. Lynn works primarily with mild steel wire, anodised aluminum and recycled tin to produce wall and free-standing sculptures, which depict life with a humorous twist. Lynn’s work is inspired by memories of people and places. The street scenes are evocative of any place where people inhabit. The use of wire figures portrays a sense of connection and belonging. Textured and coloured anodised aluminium are cut to portray streets with all different types of buildings.

About This Artwork

Peter Layton originally studied ceramics at the Central School of Art and Design in London under some of the foremost potters of the day. He chanced upon glassblowing while teaching ceramics in USA and the discovery of hot glass was the beginning of a new love affair. He was inspired by the immediacy of this enchanting and elusive medium, as much by the demanding process and the magical and exquisite material.

Kath Libbert Jewellery Gallery

About This Artwork

Delighting in paradox and infatuated with the detail, Frances’s work playfully challenges our concepts of the undesirable and the unremarkable within the context of bodily adornment. From apparently conventional jewellery that on closer examination is constructed entirely from tiny insects, to seemingly accidental splashes and stains that subtly glitter with gems, she creates visual contradictions that test the rules of fine jewellery and of attraction, mischievously exploring the tension and delight that are found when the familiar becomes deliciously strange. Look closer. Little is what it seems…Frances is a recent Royal College of Art graduate with an MA in Goldsmithing, Silversmithing, Metalwork and Jewellery, 2008. She has been selected to take part in Curiouser and Curiouser – New British Graduates, an exhibition with a Wonderland theme at Kath Libbert Jewellery Gallery 13th November 2008 – 30th January 2009

About This Artwork

Carlos Dare has been a freelance sculptor in the medium of aluminium for over ten years. His wonderfully quirky work spans a range of animals and bids and mythical creatures.The sculptures themselves are designed for outdoor as well as indoor display, and are made from strong and flexible interlocking sheets of aluminium that are cut and hand formed then riveted into design, before either priming them with colour, or clear varnishing: both in turn adding to a durable and weather resistant finish.

Philip Bastow Gallery

About This Artwork

Philip Bastow commenced his hand crafted business over 25 years ago in 1982 in the picturesque village of Reeth, which is situated at the heart of the beautiful Swaledale valley, once world famous for its lead mining. After serving a five year apprenticeship in his craft, Philip continues the time honoured tradition of woodworking, by passing on his skills today, training the new craftsmen of tomorrow. Our approach is very much quality first, and take great pride in traditional skills. From the initial design, to the careful selection of British timber, to the final polish and hand wax the loving attention to detail is thorough, very much furniture for life. From tree to table, we source our timbers carefully, where we can we will only use British hardwoods, which produce the many colours, burrs and distinctive grain patterns used in our furniture.
