Neil Bonnett

Working primarily with reclaimed materials including wood, stone and metal, Neil produces diverse, organic forms. The finished sculptures often reflect the nature, and to some extent are dictated by, the inherent properties of the materials themselves. His work combines both abstract and figurative elements and is principally concerned with exploring the simultaneous tensions and equilibriums within nature.

Venue: Mouse To Minx garden, 17 Christmas Steps.

Richard Corbett

Richard is a printmaker, painter and photographer, whose work is process based. He is principally concerned with unraveling the complex energies that flow through nature. An investigation is often triggered by observation and photography, but surfaces, reactions between materials, accidental marks, drawings and music are all essential components of the process. The resulting piece can be in an iconic form, or a more literal translation of landscape. There is always a sense of history and place- an ‘inscape’- that hopefully evokes a spiritual response in the viewer.
