Guest exhibitors 2006


2nd December - 31st December 2006
William Hudson

I have been a farmer all my life. I am passionate about the landscape and the culture of the countryside and farming. I have taken pictures for as long as I can remember but only recently have I called myself a photographer.

I am half way through an MA in Photographic Studies at Norwich School of Art And Design. My eyes have been opened and brain confused by Paul Grace and his friends. I would thoroughly recommend it. I usually photograph landscapes so people are a new challenge. I hope you enjoy my efforts.

22nd August - 28th August 2006
Eddie Prior & Kay Lucas

Eddie Prior - Animal Magic
Eddie is a local artist and her love of animals is reflected in her beautiful animal portraits - of both the wild and domestic kind!

Her preferred medium is pastel used on velour paper, a support which really brings the animal to life. Working from photographs she can provide a unique memento of a treasured pet.


Coastal Inspirations - Kay Lucas
Kay Lucas was born and brought up in Ipswich. After school she went to Goldsmiths' College where she did a teacher training course specialising in art and design.

In 1999 when the family moved back to Suffolk she decided to leave the teaching profession and concentrate on her artwork. She works mainly in pastel now and gets her inspiration from the local estuaries and wide open skies.

26th July - 20th August 2006
Helen Williams & Mark Hickson
Defenceless

Helen Williams and Mark Hickson are photographers based in Norwich, UK. They work independently, as collaborating partners and with other artists.

Helen and Mark are also partners in PriorITas, an independent ICT advisory service to the education community specialising in the use of digital technologies to foster creativity.

Defenceless is a response to coastal erosion in Norfolk. The images document the loss of Happisburgh, a village on the north coast where the sea defences are no longer being maintained. Happisburgh is even now in the process of being taken by the sea.

Though the images in Defenceless are a form of documentary, they embrace an aesthetic dimension and, unlike straight reportage, encourage viewers to construct their own meanings on themes such as the passage of time, location, brokenness and loss.

20th – 23rd July 2006

1st July - 30th July 2006
Sara Ross.
In my current and previous work I have been transforming everyday objects into thought-provoking, witty images containing an underlying spirituality.

Superficially appearing simplistic there is a deeper level of comprehension which impinges on the viewer's subconscious, thus precipitating a change on a subtle level.

3rd/4th June & 10th/11th June 2006
Liz Waugh McManus. Sculpture.
Suffolk Open Studios 2006

Distinctive sculpture in cast glass combined with other materials. The pieces evoke concepts or feelings through references to plant forms, the human body, or art history.

Elizabeth James - Earth, Sea and Sky.
Currently living in East Anglia, not far from the coast, gets inspiration from the way light and the seasons affect the mood of the landscape.

She has always had a fascination for the sea with its continually changing moods and in her work she aims to evoke the light and space that the coastal landscape engenders to produce an emotive response in the viewer.

30th March - 1st May 2006
Irene Hart is a local artist based in the beautiful county of Suffolk.

She enjoys painting a variety of subjects but her passion is to paint rural scenes of her beloved East Anglia and our heritage coast.

Hanging out of helicopters armed with a camera and only a safety harness preventing a dip in the cold North Sea is all part of a day's work for Alan O'Neill.

Alan started his photography career in the Army back in 1977, his work can now be found on the walls in almost every Oil & Gas company's offices across Europe.

4th February - 26th February 2006
Ian Harvey has been fired with a passion for photography since entering the world of digital photography and processing. His photographs are highly atmospheric and all have a dream-like quality about them.

?The mainstay of his work,??Secret Places?,? is an ongoing collection of emotive places - only half seen, only half imagined.?

Many of the images are shot close to his home on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, others come from around the UK and Ireland.
