Gallery 1: ORIENTATION : LANDSCAPE - Catherine Boardman- Margaret Dix- Nicola Dunbar & Alexandra Mills 'The urge to trap in two-dimensions- a piece of a place or the sensation it creates in us is strong and for centuries artists have pursued the representation of landscape in many media and formats.'  Gallery 2: Edge of Disquiet - Jacqui Driver 'Much of my work responds to my own experience of the unstable emotional states of grief- trauma- and anxiety- as well as dealing with the physical pain of chronic Rheumatoid Arthritis- I am inviting the audience to acknowledge spaces of discomfort and non-conformity.'Gallery 3: HEAD ON PHOTO FESTIVAL presents Apophony Lilium  Ben Blick-Hodge 'Following the linguistic concept of the same name- the Apophony series aims to explore a kind of visual intonation. Using a process of photographic capture and digital arrangement- for these works true lilies are faceted into structurally symmetrical wreathes. From the natural fall of light in multiple photographs- a coherent light source is then gathered to illuminate a form that hovers between idea and object- fabrication and documentation.'Gallery 4: DAILY RITUALS - Erin O'Brien 'As a freelance illustrator and designer- I am often constrained to the client's brief. Daily Rituals is my chance to think and draw freely every day with the influence of a single word prompt. An opportunity to do something just for me. No client notes or edits- just the joy of putting pen to paper and taking a drawing from start to finish in the space of 20 minutes. Daily Rituals is an exercise in not overthinking it- and in making art more accessible to myself and to others. Just 366 small- manageable- daily goals.'Covid-19 Safe Guidelines As a result of Covid-19 & social distancing- we will not hold our typical opening night on Thursday's fortnightly.

Prof. Han emphasises that anyone can be a Hangeul designer and if you are unsure of how- he will show you the way.This online event does not require a previous knowledge of Korean language and will be livestreamed on the KCC's Facebook
