NEW ARRIVALS MAKE TRACKS FOR RICHMOND

A brand new group of professional Yorkshire artists is making tracks for one of the county’s most unusual art galleries.

The ‘New Arrivals’ are due into Richmond railway station… …but 40 years after the last train left.

That’s because the station has been converted to an award-winning art and community centre called The Station Gallery.

The new arrivals are six Ryedale artists on their own exciting journey examining different ways of looking at our landscape in an exhibition of mixed media which runs from May 15th to June 12th

“What we all have in common – apart from being friends and fellow Ryedale artists – is a passion for showing how lines flow through the landscape, sometimes metaphorically, but sometimes quite literally… as you’ll see at the exhibition,” said Maria Silmon.

With tree lines as her recent focus, Maria portrays unseen earth energies - collectively known as ley lines - and energetic hubs such as those that great cathedrals and churches are built on.
She says she finds endless inspiration from her surroundings in the North York Moors National Park where she lives and works.







'TIDES'
a piece of video art with a slant on the love of the ocean and all creatures and a thought of how nuclear testing devestates this unseen underwater world.

A little vid I made recently and had running in The Sea Life Centre in Scarborough - as part of the Coastival Festival. It was fun being around the seals and seahorses for 3 days!

A YORKSHIRE WASSAIL

An evening of music, poetry, and other festive cheery things - all on the theme of Christmas, and a glimpse into how it might have been celebrated in past times in the Yorkshire Dales.

Tonight it is in Hutton-le-Hole Village Hall, Pickering, North Yorkshire.....

I'm projecting a festive and fitting slide show onto the stage to hopefully add to the ambience!

The next is in Yarm on 12th December 08.
