Exhibition: Path
Location: North House Gallery, Manningtree, Essex
Date: Until 24th August 2019
Details: This exhibition is North House
Gallery’s contribution to the River Stour Festival and to the 25th Anniversary
celebrations of the Stour Valley Path, organised by the Dedham Vale Area of
Outstanding Natural Beauty and Stour Valley (AONB).
As a walker who has walked the Stour Valley Path twice, the curator is keen to
encourage others to appreciate it in small or heroic stretches. Strictly
speaking, the path starts at Cattawade at the top of the estuary and ends in Newmarket.
We have allowed inclusion however of the path along the estuary, a section of
the equally recommended Essex Way,
which takes us to the mouth of the river at Harwich. The brief to the artists
though was simply PATH, however they wanted to interpret it, so the results are
remarkably diverse.
There are 13 artists in the show: Norman Ackroyd RA, Neil Bousfield, May
Cornet, Jason Hicklin, Mel King, Kit Leese, Jane Lewis, Sarah Milne, Ruth
Philo, Oliver Soskice, Dina Southwell, Jasper Startup, Linda Theophilus.
