Journeys

During the summer months many of us are thinking of travel for pleasure; the school holidays lead us to journeys to the park, the seaside, the continent and beyond - while some spend wistful hours looking for the perfect destination elsewhere online. Others take time out to reflect on their spiritual life journey, or the movements of the natural environments and materials they encounter. There are, however, other journeys more challenging or harrowing, provoked by poverty, climate change, trafficking, conflict and politics - the estimated number of international migrants worldwide is now over 214 million.

In the face of this staggering number of journeys, this mass movement of people, art provides a creative space where each of us can reflect on our own personal journeys and encounters, landscapes and the movements of the natural phenomena around us.

Come and see a wonderful collection of paintings, glass, ceramics and more, made by studio artists in response to the theme ‘Journeys’.
