Working predominantly in oil on large canvases, Sue likes the strength and depth of the paint with its very solid sensation of permanence. \\"Often working with my hands,\\" she says. \\"I feel my way right into the subject with both emotional and physical boldness”.
See \'Earth and Mind - A Different View\', 10.30am-4.30pm daily, 24-30 October at West Acre Gallery.

Jilly\'s practice is underpinned by her interest in the relationship between cause and effect; particularly how surfaces are created (natural or man-made), and the sequence of events, narratives, and rituals they embrace.
She is captivated by moments and happenings that retain a physical presence within landscape, such as a repeated walk by a shepherd, or repetitive manufacture through industry.
\\"I am fascinated by the human condition, and the traces, marks and scars in landscapes, both rural and urban, which tell stories and record moments,\\" she says.
See Jilly\'s provocative work as part of the 30X30 group exhibition, 10.30am-4.00pm, 10-18 October at West Acre Gallery.

For artist Philip Halstead @philiphalstead1 the challenge of making paintings at this moment in time stimulated him to revisit some old themes, and reflect on current events.
\\"Lockdown has made many events and objects appear to be an analogy or an icon of another time,\\" he says. \\"Even those resting airplanes.\\"
See Philip\'s reflective paintings as part of the 30X30 group exhibition, 10.30am-4.00pm, 10-18 October at West Acre Gallery.
