I paint in acrylic, oil and watercolour, my work dividing roughly into three kinds: a representational but personal view of landscape, zinc plate etchings which depict figures in rural landscape and more recently linocut prints with more of a London flavour!
The continuing focus of Daisy's work is an exploration of half-grasped dreamworlds, to create mysterious and compelling images, rich in suggestion.
An atmosphere at once serene and unsettling is conjured here, a melancholic place inhabited by fragile and enigmatic figures, human and animal.
I am a painter working in mixed media. My paintings are organised into collections, which each follow a thread of exploration.
I often return to a thread as other ideas or thoughts emerge, so each collection continues to grow.

NEW DRAWINGS AND PAINTINGS
4 November 2011 - 29 November 2011
A graduate of Glasgow School of Art, I have lived and worked in South East London for over 25 years.
My output includes textile designs, botanical and general illustration for a variety of publications.
I now concentrate on drawings and paintings inspired by my domestic surroundings and the rich diversity of the natural and built environment.
My paintings are influenced by light and colour and I am particularly interested in the work of the 1950’s abstract expressionists.
A starting point might be a photograph or view but the visual equivalent is influenced by memory, recording fragments and glimpses of the world in the language of paint.
Torie's recent work focuses on the urban landscape and London in particular, looking to capture how we live in and relate to the seemingly impersonal city.
Recent shows include The Threadneedle Prize, 2009. “Rival to the Turner Prize … full of constant surprises.” BBC Radio 4, Front Row.
This exhibition captures a moment of flux, giving a vivid insight into the dynamic processes used by Bella Easton as she moves between larger artistic projects.
Concrete Moss consists of studies and drawings in which Easton pulls apart, reconsiders and reforms previous pieces, in her journey towards new work.

CHANGING PERSPECTIVE
19 April 2010 - 30 May 2010
Terry Ryan's diverse practice encompasses installation, painting, drawing, collage, stained-glass and sculpture.
Currently he is using maps from his 1,066-strong collection of admiralty charts to make individual works, while at the same time working on a major 106-map floor installation of the coastline of Australia.
I have always had a strong affinity with animals, especially horses.
The horse has always been a striking force of nature for me.
My most recent work tries to capture various aspects of this animal. In this work I am attempting to use the sparse poetry of design and purity of colour.
Taylor studied architecture and design at the London Design School.
His career led him to travel extensively, visiting many countries and diverse landsacpes accross the world.
This experience had a powerful effect on him and initally inspired him to begin painting.
Having trained as a textile designer I have developed a method of working which enables me to work in a free spontaneous way.
Using a blank silk screen and painting through the mesh I print the first level of a picture.
This is always too flat so I will then build up the imagery by overprinting, drawing into, scraping away or simply painting over.
Developed from a sense of loss and yearning, much of Laura’s work explores how our sentiments towards the countryside, are shaped by our art and culture.
For this reason, her research looks at the traditions of landscape painting. Laura is interested in the genre’s lowly status, out-datedness and sometimes dismissal.
Caroline Jane Harris explores dynamic patterns embodied in all things living and man-made, ciphers formed through geometric shapes and organic growth.
Formations in trees, bronchi of a lung, river networks, lightning and neural activity all demonstrate fractal characteristics (shapes which recur over many scales of magnification).
