Alex McIntyre: Land, Space, Sky
27th Jan to 29th Feb
Open eve 2nd Feb 7-9pm

Alex McIntyre’s work is inspired by a process of walking and running to observe changes of light, land and sky connected with breath and movement. Her art re-captures an impression of a journey and the memory of movement and places.

Alex McIntyre’s work is inspired by walking and running which enables the close, embodied observation of changes of light, land and sky connected with breath and movement. Whilst making in the studio she tries to re-capture an impression of a particular journey. The creative process then parallels the original journey resulting in a series of visual discoveries led by interactions with materials.  The completed works are a conversation between the pictorial surface, materials and the memory of movement and places. Recurring themes include explorations of space, movement and stillness, noise and silence.
