The Pier Arts Centre Christmas Exhibition is always well worth visiting – in fact – be prepared for sensory over-load – there’s so much there, so much variety, so much of exceptional quality.
I’ll walk you round the exhibition, presenting what particularly caught my eye – a purely personal selection and no doubt in some cases, a purely personal interpretation.
Up the stairs and clockwise round the room, I like the freshness of Linda Trickett’s ‘Neorographic Art – Koi Carp’
‘Rock Knit’ by Allan Spence appeals because …I like rocks!
Simply labelled ‘Willow Tree Basket’ by Jofurr appeals to me as something which is, what it is – no messing, no nonsense….and it has an appealing shape. I like round things
A view of the main downstairs room
which includes ‘NIRVANA’ by Robinson R.R. and Maiwenn Beadle (note capital letters)
Worth viewing end-on….both ways
Sylvia Hays eye-catching ‘Synecdoche’ – I see legs/socks on a washing-line. All Art is open to personal responses/interpretations!
It’s best to not only look about you, but to look up too. Andrew Peter Drummond’s ‘Interpretation of a Gargoyle from St. Magnus Cathedral’ is one of the pieces I’d like to take home with me
Another one is Kevin Gould’s ‘Shadows of the Cairn’
And yet another one I covet….Anna Rogers (Hands of Moss) ‘Spectrolite Toadstool Decanter’
Anna also crafted a piece entitled ‘Runic Decanter’…..also with a mushroom vibe and equally laden with meaning and mystery
Jennifer Mc Knight’s ‘Otho’ mentions that Octopuses are magical – I think Otho is also a very jolly Octopus!
I like snakes……another candidate for coming home with me….Shaun William Stanger’s ‘Snake’
And another snake – Duncan McNeish’s ‘Snake Bite’
And finally – Kirstie Bruce’s ‘Light and Shade’ – with a high tide outside the window!
I then succumbed to sensory over-load – had a bit of a sit down – and headed for home.
‘Til next year……
