Deborah Gardner – Q&A

Deborah Gardner – Q&A

Deborah Gardner’s practice is process-led, materiality, multiplicity and mutability are key themes. Proximity and distance, surface tension and scale play vital roles in encountering the work; for example, a recent work concerning imagining the surface of the far side of the moon considered ways to collapse a cosmological scale to a human dimension or in another work inspiration came from studying botanical structures. Her sculptures consider the vibrancy of cell, plant and geological structures and our relationships with them, such as imagining plant life in future environments. Many sculptures explore networkable assemblages, such as hives and colonies and the growth structures of physical phenomena and are especially interested in the power of adaptability as an ongoing sculptural process.

Paul Ayers – Q&A

Paul Ayers studied Fine Art at Falmouth College of Arts in the 1990s. He has exhibited his work in the Royal Cornwall Museum, Falmouth Art Gallery, the Discerning Eye Exhibition, the Royal College of Art, Victoria Art Gallery, Bath and the Royal West of England Academy of Art, Bristol.​ He is primarily a painter, although also explores ideas through printmaking and alternative photography (screenprinting, collagraphy and cyanotype).  In his painting practise he explores the physical qualities of oil paint and the myriad variety of textures, light effects, colour and illusions that can be achieved with them on a flat surface. So, while his work represents objects in the real world, he strives to give the painted surfaces of his works an intensity and physical presence.
