"North South" by Sylvie Joyce
Gallery Two
13 March to 02 April
Opening and meet the artist on Friday 17 March from 5 to 7pm
A series of abstract paintings representing the imagined lasting impressions that may be experienced whilst exploring the world from the Arctic to the Antarctic and many places in between.
Art for me is a means to get grounded and connected to the world around me. Art takes me on a voyage of discovery and I find I am most interested in abstract representations of a moment, a special memory or a world that may be.
