Intersections Exhibition

About

Creating a space to reflect on the multitude of ways our paths cross, Intersections features paintings by Sussex-based artist Kate Wickham and ceramics by Cornwall-based artist Craig Underhill. Sharing their perspectives on the junctions of landscape, humanity and memory, curator Kellie Miller has reunited these two artists whose lives had previously intersected as tutor and student.

Ceramicist turned painter Kate Wickham has always approached her work in a gestural manner. Based in Sussex but also inspired by Cornwall and France where she often spends time, she finds the spaces between the land and architecture, abstracting the topographical with map and aerial views. Each painting thus becomes multi-dimensional, expanding the visual possibility of the plane through her intricate detailing and clever use of colour.

Exhibiting at the largest scale he has ever produced, Scottish ceramicist Craig Underhill creates powerful works reflective of the Cornish landscapes he traverses regularly. Capturing the atmosphere of the land through mark-making and use of natural materials like sand to finish his vessels, his pieces function more as three dimensional paintings rather than traditional ceramics.
