CARRY AKROYD
5th – 21st February
Many of the pictures in this exhibition show a freedom of expression after concluding a long period illustrating the Tweet of the Day book last year.
A painter and printmaker, Carry has lived most of her life in rural East Northamptonshire. Her interest in the landscape draws on many levels of fascination: history mainly, also geology, botany and wildlife. She is drawn to the nature of the unlabelled countryside trying to survive alongside agribusiness. Carry walks around whichever area is of current interest to her, accumulating sketches and visual notes, trying to take in all sorts of information which, later in the studio, are distilled into the final image. Carry enjoys working in different media; a subject will sometimes demand to be treated in a certain way or go through many processes. The use of colour is instinctive. Sometimes it just has to be pink. Carry is also a ‘John Clare nut’, and over the last 8 years has produced a series of images relating to the work of the ‘Peasant Poet’. Recently she was commissioned by the John Clare Society to illustrate a new paperback selection of his poems, “The Wood is Sweet”, for which she made over 50 linocuts.

NIK POLLARD
8th – 23rd November
An exhibition of paintings, drawings and original prints by Nik Pollard
Nik Pollard’s work stems from a passion for the natural world and is generated from sustained, direct observation. He makes drawings and paintings in the field and develops ideas through printmaking in the studio.
“A period of dedicated study at single or related locations is a necessary part of my process. I make repeated visits to gain familiarity with an area. Watching, listening and recording, I build a knowledge and understanding of the rhythms and characteristics that are particular to a place and its inhabitants during that time.”
Parallel to this he searches for a visual language that will enable him to interpret what he has seen, felt and experienced. Working with a range of mediums, exploring possibilities and ideas, he searches for the essential aspects of what it is he wants to say, whether it is responding to an instance or exploring a narrative.
