Parkside Arts Christmas gift weekend

Mon, 12 Oct 2009 18:20:13 +0100

Saturday 21st November from 11.00 - 5.00 and Sunday 22nd from 11.00 - 2.00.
The Parkside Arts artists who formed an art co-operative so successfully for Artweeks this year, are having an open house weekend to show and tempt you with their Christmas gift pieces. As before, all three venues will be signed and flagged so look out for the houses of Christine O’Sullivan (Park Road), Steve Gold (Queens Road) and Jane Russ (Kings Road). Their houses are all within two minutes of each other and would make a very enjoyable ‘gift circuit’ for visitors. To double the interest, Christine, Steve and Jane have each invited another artist from a different discipline into their exhibition space and all six will work together to give the visiting public a really enjoyable experience.

* Vibrant, abstract and geometric are words that describe the paintings of Christine O’Sullivan, who uses line and space with vigour in her work. Gemma Wheeler the jeweller/silversmith, is exhibiting with Christine and in her work she manipulates the surface of silver with etching, creating texture and pattern.
* Steve Gold is a photographer with a particular interest in urban and architectural subjects and his work has a strong, powerful edge to it. The coloured glass artist Lucy Tustian is showing her functional and decorative pieces with Steve, she uses recycled and hand-made coloured glass; art with a low energy footprint.
* The painter Jane Russ is actually showing off the weaving pieces she has made this summer, bags, back packs, scarves etc. all made mixing had crafted tweeds with sumptuous coloured velvets. Parkside Arts partner is Alison Beaumont, the felt maker who produces a range of homewares and wearables, felted from soft merino wool and silk, in rich vibrant colours. Also pegloom rugs woven from local fleece, making the most of their natural colours and textures.
