Jerwood makers exhibition

I went a visit to the pier arts centre the other day to have a look around the Jerwood makers open exhibition.

 The artists featured were: Maisie Broached, Linda Brothewell, Roanna Wells, Adam Buick and Nahoko Kojima. 

Very varied in mediums between the different artists. 

Was particularly interested in Buick's video installation of a white bell placed in a sea cave and filmed at different times with the low and high tides. A very simple premise but was rather soothing and relaxing to watch- the sounds of the waves and the bell as it moved in the breeze. I didn't sit and watch the whole thing but you could hear the sounds in the background as you went around the exhibition. were constantly being reminded that the bell was gently swaying in the breeze in a sea cave somewhere. How there is always more going on somewhere than what you can see in front of you just at one time. 

But what really captivated me was the beautiful 'Byaku' created by Kojima. She used the very intricate process of Kiri-e to create a polar bear, simply stunning.
