Open Studios during the 2009 Festival
Viv AlbrightWorking in Japan over the last five years has enabled me to focus and develop drawings, paintings and mixed media which are part of a current series. The series ‘BodyMaps’ records a dialogue with nature and architecture used here as a metaphor for acceptance and belonging in each culture.

Phil BoothThe majority of my work is a reaction to observations of the landscape or things I find in the landscape. The latter in particular often become vehicles for exploring questions about our relationship with the natural world. I make sculpture, relief works, small constructions and works on paper.

Basma AshworthI love the tactile quality of paint; the creative process for me is about manipulating the paint so that texture and colour become the more exciting element than the image. My work is not about theme but about the process of painting. The paintings emerge from my interaction with paint and colour.

Colin CaffellThe work of Camberwell trained Colin Caffell follows three
main themes: figurative sculpture (bronze and ceramic), geometric glass installations and hand-thrown pottery. The focus of the sculpture is mainly about our relationship to the environment, to ourselves and each other. The pottery is simple with colours inspired by the sea.
