9th October – 4th January	5th January - 7th March	8th March – 9th May
Jennifer creates innovative textiles and craft pieces using natural and found materials. Through methods of weaving, waxing, trapping, embedding and stitching she creates unusual garments and accessories to comm unicate ideas of recycling and explore themes of the body. Jennifer's work uses the symbolic form of clothing to provoke thoughts about the fragility of the human body, the ordinary and everyday; objects that only become painfully precious when we lose them.	Patricia’s inspiration roots from the myriad of shapes and colours that radiate from subterranean caves. Her abstract 3D forms are created from natural substances such as plaster, cement, sand, resin, glass fibre, lead and sugar. Judes work is a palimpsest of collage, paint and the written word; half remembered truths, tangled threads that tie us and those that bind us in unity, layering life, layering the soul, bleached out to be reworked; whitewash over filled-in cracks to reveal and conceal the edge of life. The edge is a good place to be;it’s where life happens.	Virginia Graham makes curiously eccentric tea wares and vessels that are an amalgamation of patterns, shapes and styles. Each piece is a collection of objects placed out of context, transforming their original purpose for being. Floral transfers and metallic lustres are added for finishing touches to produce these precious and eccentric collectables.
