We’re pleased to show new body of work by @ashmantracey during our Spring Show. Tracey about her work: “‘Summons’ explore a brain tumour operation I underwent in 2016. The series of prints hope to translate a personal insight to my experience, which was amplified by the possible risks of memory loss and motor impairment. My mothers’ legacy of imparting the recuperative powers of craft has created a powerful belief in the use of stitch as a metaphor for growth and renewal. I also entrusted to the Goddesses’ of healing, inspired by the medical code of ethics.” #independentartgallery #shopindependent #printmaking #cambridge #lovecambridge #abstract

We’re continuing with our vibrant colour theme - we adore glass vessels by @ruthshelley2 Ruth works from her studio, based in Cardiff, where she produces a variety of kiln formed objects of vivid colour and depth such as bowls and jewellery, as well as free-standing and wall -mounted pieces. She’s continually experimenting and developing glass fusing ideas, techniques and colours. Designs can always be tailored to individual preferences for commissions. #cambridge #independentartgallery #shopindependent #lovecambridge #glass #fusedglass #colour

Lara Scobie’s current work is predominantly concerned with the dynamic interplay between form and pattern. This is explored through the cohesive integration of drawing, surface mark making and volume. She is equally interested in the space that surrounds pattern as much as the hue and texture of the decorated surface. We’re pleased to show Lara’s work during our Spring Show! #independentartgallery #shopindependent #ceramics #porcelain #clay #pottery #ceramicsuk #cambridge #lovecambridge
