Imagined Things

Each artist, in different ways, engages with matter and making as a research process. There is a shared interest in colour and in the physical activity of making objects and marks. Julian Scott: “My paintings are abstract and are the result of a reflective process that is both intuitive and cognitive. Internalised versions of lived experience, particularly memories of place, interact with the paintings as they emerge. I am always looking for new insight and to be surprised by them in some way.” Oliver Kent: “As an archaeologist I work with pottery (mostly broken) to unravel meanings and histories. As a maker I enjoy the material itself and the freedom it brings to play with those meanings and histories.
