About this event

Debbie Prosser & Delpha Hudson | Telling Tales

Debbie and Delpha have both lived long enough to tell a tale or two and both curiously use a colourful palette of figurative medieval and classical imagery to tell stories in their unique painting and ceramic practices.

Debbie creates beautifully formed one-off ceramic pieces decorated with colour, line and stories. Delpha creates tapestry-like paintings using acrylic on canvas. Both artists are inspired by history, pattern, and narrative creating visual lenses through which to see the present.

Narratives are microcosms of collective renewal. Telling Tales juxtaposes ceramic and paint media whilst creating resonance between shared bizarre and beautiful imagery.

Current work is raw fired earthenware with oxides and under-glaze colours to create intricate stories on beautifully formed one-off thrown pots.

Delpha Hudson is an artist based in Penzance, Cornwall. She has been making art about women since the late 90s often working in diverse media including performance, film and installation.

Current colourful historical-contemporary paintings create a vernacular that reconfigures old stories in order to promote visibility and value for women.
