'Of Landscape' Peter Burke, (detail)

Earthworks: Peter Burke

3 December 2011 — 2 May 2012 *on now

The sculptures explore the relationship between people, place and the earth, using for subjects people who are connected with the area.
Tour of the exhibition with Peter Burke, Saturday 7 January 1.00-1.45; free

Kate Flood: the light within
Kate Flood’s radiant landscapes convey transient moments and a sense of stillness. Sometimes the view is from a window or a shaded enclosure, looking out towards the light or onto a glade; her aim being to explore the contrast between stillness and the shifting patterns of foliage, light and shade.
