FRONT GALLERY: “We evolve like dinosaurs”
by Scott Chalmers
Friday 1st to Friday 31st May
(Opening Night Friday 1st May 6pm - 9pm)
Throughout history, plants and animals have lived in the shadow of Mother Nature. As a result species must remain one step ahead of the competition, constantly changing and evolving in order to exist. Fall behind and you may be selected for extinction, the dinosaurs exemplify this. As intelligent human beings we have studied the downfalls in history and realise that we have to learn from our mistakes in order to survive, we must 'evolve'. Sometimes however we don't, we fall back on what we have done before knowing all too well what the consequences will be. The human species has spread like a plague to every corner of the globe devouring the earth's resources. Many have woken up to this and are trying to find a way for the human race to evolve in harmony with the earth. If we don't begin to find this balance soon we too may end up like the dinosaurs, extinct!

BACK GALLERY: “All the things she thinks about”
By I & the Others
Friday 1st to Friday 31st May
(Opening Night Friday 1st May 6pm - 9pm)
Where does the mind go when we take most of the thinking out of creating and just let our hand guide us? All The Things She Thinks About is an exploration of this theme. Through the meditative process of repetition, various emotions, memories and obscure thoughts are explored. This body of work aims to bring about an awareness of the individual thought process and
prompts us to consider the time we dedicate to reflection.

UPSTAIRS GALLERY: “Last Moments”
By Phil Roubin
Friday 1st to Friday 31st May
(Opening Night Friday 1st May 6pm - 9pm)
Last Moments portrays an abandoned Art Deco residence, reflecting traces of both its former glory and past inhabitants enhanced by the dream-like, filmic-styled photography. Creating a sense of mystery through references to the 'haunted house', film noir and the family Polaroid collection, the images offer nostalgia and familiarity. The fragmented narrative engages and invites the viewer to journey further and construct a storyline, or simply recognise the incomplete picture as a mirror of how little we know about those around us. |
