Artists Kathleen Ainscough & Barbara Pearson explore themes of change, revelation, memory & containment in works using imagery of various kinds of vessels.
Ainscough's mixed media works use deconstructed & abstracted architectural & vessel forms - a building, book, boat, cup - as a jumping off point to interpret the concepts of impermanence, memory, the passage of time & the revelations they can bring.
Pearson's work made from mixed media & repurposed materials, explores urban consciousness as it relates to our local geography, its waterways, the iconic vessels - shipping freighters & their containers - & the cost of their increasing encroachment on the shorelines.
