Kara Lyons

Kara’s for this exhibition is a large floor based installation made in situ in Gallery FRANK by using her feet to make patterns on a bed of wet clay in a rhythmic process that draws parallels between the mark of human passage and the continuous flow of water in our local waterways. It makes reference to the history of our post-industrial landscape and the people that inhabited and inhabit that space. 

Kara will also exhibit large drawings made using a similar process with graphite and water.

“My work considers notions of value, scale and proximity. These small gouache works of seascapes are nominally depictions of tidal views. I  am interested in the psychological relationship between the artwork and the viewer, the shifts between place and being and the rendering of one thing into another. The works are intricate and finely detailed, they are about proximities and relativities of scale on both a psychological and material level. They are constructed to encourage an intimate response, enticing the viewer towards the surface of the composition as a point of mediation between the image and the elements that make up the work.”

Paul Haywood

Paul is exhibiting carbon drawings on wood, video projections, photographs. 

All works reference the woven patterns of the ocean surface; perpetually competing, colliding, swelling and simmering. These works are studies of line, light and movement.
