Surface Details Project

Exhibition
This innovative exhibition lead by Stevie Davies will feature photographs, drawings and mixed media artworks all created by a number of artists and makers. The exhibition will have a clear focus on artistic experimentation, development, collaborative works of art and mini on-site residencies to encourage playful interactions with the theme.

Stevie Davies started the Surface Details project as a result of her fascination with taking photos while out and about, capturing images of textures and colours which most people walk past without even noticing; the idea being that we need to slow down, look around us and appreciate the little things in our surroundings.

Stevie comments: “I like to find the beauty in the smallest of details, most passing by wouldn’t even give them a second look but I can’t help but be fascinated by the textures and colours of a section of pavement after it has rained when it’s showing off a shimmering interaction with a layer of engine oil”.

Each artist has been asked to respond to an original photograph and their creative process has been documented. The results will be showcased alongside documentary imagery to highlight the processes and skills used. Each piece within the exhibition has been created using processes which are true to each artist/maker.

Join us for an evening of refreshments, a up close viewing of each artwork and a chance to find out more about each artistic practice and way of working.
