Joel Lambeth - Content
7 November – 8 December
Official opening on Saturday 9 November.
There is always that scene in the movies. The one where the hacker takes control of a computer system and suddenly a succession of random images, symbols and text fill up the screen. System failure. Access denied. Joel Lambeth borrows from the iconographies of both cyberspace and pop culture, and folds it all (quite literally) back on itself in his analogue paper collage artworks. Hacking, but done with a pair of scissors.

Emily Lane, Sarah Frost & Teresina White - In-Version
7 November – 8 December
Official opening on Saturday 9 November.
In-Version presents a selection of imagined landscapes, interior portraits and abstract surrealistic works by emerging artists, Emily Lane, Sarah Frost and Teresina White. Each artist offers a collegial exploration of the links between interior and exterior realities, investigating the relationships between imagination, psychology and subconscious. In-Version looks at how interior worlds are created and subsequently projected into an exterior reality, and how they each inform and transform the other.

Roman Balla - Navigate
7 November – 8 December
Official opening on Saturday 9 November.
Navigate is a series of artworks about landscapes and the altered space that is shared. Altered by inventions, science, religions, colonisation, migration and the ever changing concepts of beauty and ugliness in nature or our safety from certain aspects of nature. It is a precious and unpredictable space we are constantly reframing. Roman Balla has used his skills as a graphic designer and photographer to illustrate and explore these ideas abstractly and semi abstractly.

Laurent Rivory's Tumbling Eagle and The Defiant
Public Sculpture Garden
Our Public Sculpture Garden is always open on the lawns of Braemar House for everyone to enjoy!
Guarding the main path to the gallery are two steel sculptures by Laurent Rivory - "Tumbling Eagle" and "The Defiant". "Tumbling Eagle" represents an eagle capturing prey in mid-flight, at the moment where it loses its flight attitude and looks like it might crash – but doesn’t. "The Defiant", with its bold stance, celebrates those who stand firm and defy the odds. These highly abstracted works are made in Rivory's Springwood studio from salvaged steel in line with his sustainability ethos.
