Photo Diary - The Nature of Things

Words and Images by Jason Waterhouse

So lately in my sculpture practice I have found myself being drawn to nature and organic materials as a starting point.  I need to man up and get back into cars.

This photo diary is an ode to sticks.

energy and atmosphere

opening nights are always charged with a little bit of frenetic energy. the artists are nervous, exhausted and excited in equal measure. the supporting family and friends are full of admiration and pride. people mingle, meet and talk while glasses clink and cameras flash.

on a particularly lovely saturday afternoon in november a bustling crowd came in to check out the art of Eliza-Jane Gilchrist, Jason Hartcup and Darcey Bella Arnold. get an inside peak into the scenes with our little launch video below (and come along to the next one - it is going to be MASSIVE):

november preview

the last set of shows for 2012 are installed and ready for the launch this coming saturday. some amazing stuff - from kinetic sculpture, to giant colour drawings, to mirror works.

i won't give anything away yet, it's always best to see these things in the flesh. but here's a sneak peak to whet your appetite.
