About CONFLUX our 2019 Exhibition

Something great happens when you meet a kindred spirit. The creative process although amazing can be ploughing a lonely furrow at times. But every now and then, unexpectedly, you find a the walls of your furrow come crashing down and there in your space is another being sparking out ideas that are similar to yours but these ideas are manifesting themselves in different and exciting ways.

The conversation is slightly more complicated between these two beings but goes along the lines of

Do you like this?. Yes

Did you go to this place for your inspiration?. Yes

Do we like each others work? Yes

Do you want to do an exhibition?. Yes

Then add in musical contributions from my gifted daughter then Conflux is born. A made up word but we think best describes an exhibition by two Sculptors with too many ideas. Using eclectic styles of work. That describe why humans make sculpture. Why they try to imbibe objects with deeper meaning, magic, medicine and mystery. Objects streamed into a resurrected but previously long forgotten underground space in the centre of a town known for its rebelliousness, paganism, and idiosyncrasies. Which we have tried to express alongside the more global influences of our work. Then plumbed these objects into the redundant existing infrastructure of this wonderful space. As if they were meant to be there all along and as we peer into the gallery space we are discovering the remnants of strange secret activities that have been suddenly abandoned.

The exhibition has been universally loved by all who have seen it….and was supposed to close on September 30th…..But thanks to popular demand it now lives a little longer in the vaults of the Observer Building in Hastings East Sussex…Find Robertson Street the Gotham Alley then follow the signs. Open throughout 2019.

Every Friday Saturday Sunday 12pm until 5pm
