27th July - 14th August 2010

Opening: Tues 27th July, 5.30 – 7pm

The Exhibition ‘Impressions’ presents the work of three artists print makers Susanne Khouri, Jacqueline Aust and Susan Hurrel-Fieldes.

Each artist explores traditional as well as contemporary methods of printmaking to express their ideas.

Susanne Khouri’s work is about her impressions, remembered or imagined, of the varied manifestations of the Mangrove landscape along the coast of New Zealand. The viewer is left with thoughts of the moon and the rhythmic push and pull of the tide.

This series of Jacqueline Aust’s work is inspired by abstract-like marks on the walls of ancient buildings in Florence. These marks are the result of centuries of human habitation, sometimes appearing unintentional and sometimes deliberate. They bring to mind abstract expressionist works.

The work of Susan Hurrell-Fieldes was initially inspired by the tragedy and horror of 9/11. The images broadcast around the world set in motion an exploration of the tensions between strength and vulnerability. She expresses this through use of line and how it can at once connect, dissect and intrude.
