LOFT GALLERY
Travelling Lines: Drawings on Cloth or Paper
25 August to 10 October
Jeanette Appleton
Jeanette was ‘in residence’ in the Bainside Studio on Level 4 from 8 to 22 August, during which she ran two, 2-day workshops, and made some of the work on display.
She has added this to the work she produced during her first residency two years ago – and produced an exhibition of contrasting work, some picking up on the contours of the Howgills, the fells surrounging Farfield Mill, and some from the landscape where she lives for most of the year, in the Alpujarras in Spain.
Lines of Healing Light
16 October to 21 November
Delcia McNeil
A group of six paintings, some of which depict aspects of the ageing process and link wrinkles with abstract forms. Rather than wrinkles being viewed as negative, Delcia wants us to celebrate them as a process of creative expression. The work also signifies a healing theme – a way in which lines and texture can lead us through to another dimension, a land or mindscape in which we can be still and connected with something much greater than ourselves.
Images of India - from the Himalayas to the Bay of Bengal
27 November to 2 January
Laura Rosenzweig
Textiles collected by Farfield Resident artist and weaver Laura Rosenzweig during her travels to India, alongside wonderful images selected from over 1,000 that she has taken in India. Laura’s most recent tour in November 2009 had a craft and textile focus, so she mostly visited places where she could observe people producing crafts, all by hand -- such as Tibetan carpet weaving at the Refugee Self-Help Centre in Darjeeling; ikat weaving, cire-perdue metal casting; palm-leaf etching and pattachitra painting in various villages in Orissa; Kantha cloth quilting and embroidery in Calcutta.
