About this event

Martha Holmes – Interior & Beyond, with ceramics and glass by Chloe Rosetta Bell & Celia Dowson

Interior & Beyond

On show at St Ives’ New Craftsman Gallery from Whitweek until the middle of June, Martha Holmes’ new collection brings together the domestic and outdoor spaces that have surrounded and inspired her as working painter over recent months. In her crisply composed, colourist manner, her paintings reflect spring mornings at home with jugs of fresh tulips and bowls of lemons, captured alongside the linear forms and rich, seasonal colours of the West Cornwall landscape. Painted predominately in oil on board, her interior compositions draw on a varied palette of warm pinks and reds, while her landscape works reflect the fresh greens and vivid blues of the Penwith peninsula in spring.

Traces: a collaborative collection

“Sometimes, you encounter a body of water so beautiful you commit it to memory. But what happens as memory meets hands, fire, and water?”

Glass artist Celia Dowson and ceramicist Chloé Rosetta Bell present a collaborative collection that explores this meeting of memory, material, fluidity and time, creating pieces that recall impressions and visible traces imprinted within the landscape. For Dowson the exploration of form, colour and depth in glass opens up a contemplative space for viewers to reflect upon the rhythms of the atmosphere; for Bell, shell and ash surfaces evolve in clay as vessels which hold the memory of her physical experience of ‘place’.
