One Person's Weed is Another's Wisdom

Pete Yeo

Artist's Wall Exhibition

As part of this exhibition, at 10 am on Sat 26th Pete Yeo will lead a free walk around the outskirts of Torrington which explores the key words found within the title of Keble Martin’s magnum opus - British and Flora - along with associated terms such as wildflower, native, alien, naturalised, invasive, etc.

What is the bigger picture behind these word/ideas and how useful are they?

In the process we may see  Keble Martin’s Flora as a  moment in time, inevitably transient, yet holding memories of the past - and clues to... more

More Uptown and Further Down West

Paul Seed

Bideford born and now Torrington resident, two time BAFTA winning television drama director Paul Seed really doesn’t like London very much but loves North Devon….however, he does take huge pleasure in finding fascinating and often beautiful images in both places. The almost silent snap of a shutter, that unique instant in time which can hold within it an extraordinarily complex story, as wondrous a thing as a mosquito trapped in an amber bead.  For an insight to Paul's motivation take a look at this interview by documentary maker Martin Pailthorpe then come and see the exhibition. more

I cut my design into the maple board with a knife and a few small gouges, making... more
