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.'
