Visual exploration into the natural world

Where: Taurus Crafts, Lydney, GL15 6BU

When: Saturday, January 6, to Thursday, January 11

Taurus Crafts at Lydney are hosting their first exhibition of 2018 in their café and conservatory.

Weathering features the work of local artist Catherine Hawkridge, originally from Bristol.

Work in this exhibition showcases selected paintings and cyanotype prints focussing on exploring the natural world, especially moments when its beauty is not obvious to others due to inclement weather, age, disorder or other perceived imperfections.

This exhibition includes a series of meadow paintings using mixed media in an expressive and fluid style.

Catherine's paintings are produced from life or her own photographs, often of her slightly neglected garden which is an overgrown haven for tall grasses and beautiful pockets of colourful weeds and wild flowers.

The second series of images showcased continue the wild theme using found forms, often again from her garden or interesting leaf litter found when foraging in the forest or on the school run.

Currently, Catherine is a part-time teacher of art, photography and textiles and lives locally with her husband and their three small children.

The exhibition is open daily from Saturday, January 6, to Thursday, January 11, from 10am until 5pm. There is no admission fee.
