Painting by Jarvis Brookfield

Jarvis Brookfield, 'In spirit of the Masquerade, Sister', acrylic on canvas

"I'm fascinated by the mysteriousness and beauty of human history. Out of its multifaceted richness, masks, masquerades and the experience of ecstatic states have gradually become a growing curiosity. . .. I started to imagine and search for what it might feel like to be in and witness a masquerade among our fellow hunters and gatherers. I became curious and sought out to learn the history of masks, masquerades and ecstatic states.. . .

My approach to painting is experimental but has a strong foundation in drawing, relying on my memory and observation. The process is gradual and involves a continuous effort of studying from books, short videos, documentaries and most importantly drawing from life and found imagery."

Handmade glass by Catherine Evans

Catherine Evans, 'Tip of the Iceberg', glass

"I am interested in creating ethereal forms in glass that sit as stand-alone, beautiful artefacts. My use of hot glass leads to fluid, fabric-like objects due to the uncontrolled and rapid creation process, forcing me to work quickly and efficiently within the workshop.

My work originates in using my own and my mother's hands which have a basis in feelings of comfort and linking with our innate desire for human contact and touch."
