Surface Meaning was suggested by Paula MacArthur, when a slot became available for exhibiting at the House of Hastings in Queens Road. There was a quick hands up to see who would be interested out of all the artists at The School Creative Centre. Paula had to do a quick proposal, and we realised that all the work was either on paper or about paper! We gradually realised that it was going to be an interesting show. Ben, who is usually a photographically precise painter decided to do a conceptual piece using found photographs. Paula is also a painter but is showing her screen prints. My papier mache painting/sculptures grew and grew, and strangely but beautifully relate to Jillian Eldridge‘s super quiet paintings of paper…
The show is on until 27th March and open Thurs – Sat 11 (ish probably nearer 12) till 4pm… It’s extremely cold in the gallery and we’re all pretty much dreading our invigilation sessions. Please come and distract us!
