Grassroots girls

Amanda McCormack

Supported by an Arts Council England DYCP grant, photographer Amanda McCormack spent six months capturing images of Fremington FC’s female teams from the Wildcats, who start at 5 years old, to the women’s team aged 16 and up.
The project has been about more than just getting action shots says Amanda: “I wanted to show the strength and resilience of the girls' sport at grassroots level. I got much more than that. There have been many exciting moments but the quiet, off pitch scenes have also provided some beautiful images telling the story of what grassroots sport is all about.”... more

Netti Habel

 

'I use the camera to record people and places by the light of the full moon. Shooting at night requires the use of exposures of about a minute.

I record the wildlife, plant life, weather, seasons, star-and moonscape, and the cottage, at Halsdon Mill where I live. In the intimacy and focus created by opening the shutter in the quiet of night and for a minute at time, I am exploring the deeply human wish for connection with one's surroundings and the natural world; the need for rootedness and home.

For the portraits, the sitters are encouraged... more

Olla Podrida: any dish containing a great variety of ingredients.

This exhibition  contains  work by artists who are all great in their own right but very different. So the idea of exhibiting them together - instead of creating a themed show or finding a group of artist's with similarities - is about looking for the kinds of differences that might show these individuals  in a new light.

Bill Stewart was a finalist in this years Contemporary British Painting prize while Joff Winterhart... more

Up River

Lesley Kerman

Since the first lockdown began in March 2020, we have all been more attentive to our immediate surroundings.

Something has also happened to the perception of time, which has made painting with oil on canvas seem to fit the rhythm of the days.

I live by the River Exe, and the River, which is always present, has found its... more

Artist's Wall

Julie Lewis Carpenter

"I have a life long love of drawing and printmaking has become a natural next step in creating an image. I'm inspired by nature whilst out and about. And by taking time to look. The natural world can be busy and joyful and it's good to take time to connect."

Julie Lewis Carpentermore
