Upcoming exhibition

Overview
Water saturates, shifts, seeps, explores, exploits, distracts, destroys, manoeuvres, penetrates, mixes, grades, attacks, finds a way, a path a passage, dislodges, surrounds, circulates, gravitates, yet can be drawn upwards to form clouds. It can contain contaminants, minerals, debris, and detritus. It can damage – uproot vegetation but gently carry its seed. It can create a multitude of sounds in its movement and yet at times travel peacefully in silence. It can be affected by external influences – light and dark, heat and air in motion. Water is constantly changing its condition.
Jenny Beavan is a local ceramic artist with an international reputation. Her work is known for the textures and colour that connect to the Cornish landscape. After a residency with Imerys, the Cornish china clay manufacturer, texture became integral to her work through the incorporation of clay granules, even the grasses and weeds that left their trace after firing. -
