Undercurrent of Opinion HELEN BREACH

Undercurrent of Opinion is a new work, representing the emotional fragility of human nature. How opinions can sometimes serve as expressions of emotion. Information and mis-information influences people negatively, with harmful ideologies posing as genuine concepts and defeating individual thought.

A floor-standing structure. At ground level a wave of grey plaster masks covered with distorted cuttings and images – out of scale and out of proportion like many bad anonymous influences.

This upper wave consists of papier mache shaped heads, painted with portraits of real people from around the world – they all sat for a few minutes to have their faces sketched. I don’t know what undercurrents are shaping their views and visions. As we draw each other, we become an item of observation, economic status becomes irrelevant, how we live is not important, we are bound momentarily in an act of timeless creation.

The Asterism Undercurrent Phenomenon: MICHELLE LOUISE CARTER
The terms “asterism and “undercurrent’ are generally unrelated concepts from different fields. I plan to link astronomy with fluid dynamics, to create a visual description of what is unrecognised as a phenomenon.

I have used natural materials to form a large shape that houses seven spheres that freely move by gentle touch. They will be painted in a way that a new constellation-type shape can be created by simple turns in alternating directions by wind due to how the spheres have been weighted through dipping in liquid cement. I have played with the “triangle wave” – a non-sinusoidal waveform in mathematics and physics, named for its triangular shape, and this is the main structure that stands approximately 12ft high.

 

Breaking Through Mental Landscapes LESLEY WILLIAMS and TIM ANGRAVE

‘Breaking Through Mental Landscapes’ is a collaborative exploration of creativity as mutual aid, where shared making becomes a quiet form of care.

Through painting, drawing, film, and music the project reflects on how support, love, and connection can help sustain us through instability, change, and misunderstanding. It invites open reflection on mental health and hopes to encourage conversation around experiences often left unseen or unspoken.

There will be a Private View on Wednesday 1st July from 4pm and the exhibition will be open every day from 10am to 5pm from 2nd July until 2nd August.
