Blog The Exhibition 21 May 2012


This is how it is on Tuesday 21 May 2012. The final preparations are being made to the Summer 2013 show for FdA Fine Art and FdA Photography

The lower gallery is ready, the upper gallery approached by the staircase visible in the picture is still awaiting completion, will show many of the FdA Photography images, some of the work will be displayed upstairs along with Christine Thornton's and Sammy Hutton's work and some in this gallery space.





Elizabeth Smith 'There and not there' 1-8 and 9-16 Series 3

My 16 images describing mass in space and light, all unique experiences, revealing forms that belong somewhere, my starting point for this work was my reading around Le Corbusier work for my Contextual Studies.

'
Also in this Gallery space is PeterTierney's portrait “from Newhaven to Seaford' This lovely portrait is presented to show comparisons of different media; digital, colour and monochrome film available to the contemporary photographer. 
Siting well, with Alex's portraits of 'Ruairy'. For Alex the female nude and portraiture is a prominent theme. Major influences are of German expressionism.

  “Female Nudes and Portrait”
Alexandra Burrows McGill

                                                                                                                     





 Sophie Ellistons Image sits outside the slightly larger studio space that I now understand was known as “Church”. In this area, 

 Emma O Neils' 'Whose woods these are?”  are displayed, 172 , 10cmx10cm images surround you as you enter. Emma seeks to describe the continuous change and temporality, alongside the permanence and stability that we encounter in nature.


                                                        Emma O Neils' 'Whose woods these are?”

So far so good, only a few more hours and we will know how our work has been received. There are more rooms to describe eg. 'A room of books' to accompany the show and in the top gallery further work,- this from Christine and Sammy along with more photography This will be in a later blog.
