HOMECOMING
POST 22 COLLECTIVE
12 - 15 October
Open View : 17th October/ 6-8pm
POST22 is a collective of BA Fine Art alumni who graduated from Norwich University of the Arts. The group was formed to support its members in navigating the post-university art world, creating opportunities to build confidence, develop professional practices, and gain visibility as practising artists. With a commitment to contributing to the contemporary art conversation, POST22 brings together emerging artists whose diverse practices and perspectives continue to evolve both individually and collectively. This inaugural exhibition marks an important first step for the group, showcasing the work of its members since graduation. It offers an insight into the varied directions their practices have taken, while celebrating the connections, experimentation, and shared ambitions that continue to shape POST22.

COSMIC CARPETS
DAVE CASSELL
27 October - 8 NOVEMBER
Open View : 31 October/ 5-7pm
There is a strong element in the work of the juxtaposition of chaos and order. Using patterns in nature against man-made structures which are often derived from natural forms.
The title ‘Cosmic Carpets’ comes from looking at tribal carpets and the forms and colours in them that have strongly influenced many of the pieces. The print collages are constructed from prints made from a very diverse range of techniques. In line with this the acrylic on board pieces are created by many layers of overlaid painting using different techniques. All the pieces aim to be meditative rather than portray any specific meaning.
NOT ALL WHO WANDER ARE LOST
HEATHER GUTHRIE & HELEN DERBYSHIRE
27 October - 8 NOVEMBER
Open View : 31 October/ 5-7pm
Helen Derbyshire and Heather Guthrie are members of the Artdepotnr3 Collective in Norwich. While they have worked alongside each other and exhibited with the wider Artdepot group since 2018, they have never before exhibited in a two-person show. On the surface, their work looks entirely different and yet, unexpectedly, they complement each other as artists.​ This exhibition is about wandering – wandering in a physical sense as well as wandering metaphorically, with both artists exploring a variety of innovative materials, methods and techniques.​
​
Helen’s focus is on nature, mainly on the paths and landscapes she encounters on long meditative walks in the Suffolk countryside. Her work evokes memory of places and personal experiences held in time.
Conversely, Heather’s work is abstract, mined from an inner landscape, concerned with capturing spontaneous gesture and expression. In working with simple forms and highly worked up surfaces, her work in print, drawing and collage shares a similarly meditative quality.​ Both artists are on a continuous journey of exploration and discovery - wandering with purpose.
