Claire Gladstone : Pay Attention To The Gaps

A New Exhibition at The Plough Gallery

Claire Gladstone

Claire Gladstone's research is concerned with how we process and store memories with their inevitable fallibility, as it considers the role photography plays within systems of memory and truth. 

An integral element of Claire's Arts practice is the co-ordination of community based, socially engaged projects, collaborations and mail works.

Claire holds a Masters in Fine Art, from Arts University Plymouth where she is Studio Coordinator for fine print and works from her studio in West Devon.

Kateryna Rudiakova

'There are so many things we forget about the moment they’re out of our sight… When people stop talking about it, when the news and journalists don’t report about it as eagerly, even such huge things as wars fade from our memories. To not cover our eyes and turn away from the pain and despair, this photo exhibition of Ukraine is here to remind us of what is truly important.'more

Patrick Jones

"I am and always have been an Abstract Painter. Part of my project is to define what that is. You will notice that my work is continually different. I try not to repeat myself. I am usually obsessed by getting the image to be a complete statement. Colour is my main vehicle,but my process of working on unprimed canvas, into a wet ground, comes from my friend Helen Frankenthaler."more

Stephanie Lamb

With drawing at its heart, my work is both representational and abstract, moving between the allegorical, the mythical and the natural worlds perpetually re-interpreted. Recent world events, both environmental and political, however, have presented... more
