For Molly Thomson, painting is a process of construction, reconfiguration, application, observation and assessment. She was born in Perth, Scotland and lives and works near Norwich.
It is a process she repeats until the point is reached when each individual painting achieves a balance between its painted surface and object presence. A palette of carefully chosen colour creates a lush colour field in each. From a distance you could be mistaken in thinking that they follow the tradition of monochromatic modernist painting. However further inspection proves this is not the case.
Molly works with a surgical precision within the limits of each wooden panel, slicing off a corner and adding a curve or a raised area to change the nature of the surface or reveal layers of underlying colour that supports the finished finely tuned colour.
Victoria Fenn is a sculptor exploring memories and landscape motivated by her personal connection to the Cambridgeshire Fens, where she grew up on a family farm.
Coming from a farming family has given Victoria a unique insight into the landscape of the Fens. She sees agriculture, not only the machinery and hand tools used and adapted over the centuries, but also the lives of the people relying on this land to survive and prosper.
Having studied Three Dimensional Design specialising in silversmithing and metalwork at Camberwell College of Arts, and garden design at the Pickard School of Garden Design, she went on to become a successful garden designer. After moving from London to North Norfolk, Victoria has spent the last eight years building and renovating her 17th Century farmhouse. It was this period of exploring new materials, such as concrete and working with tools on a daily basis, that instigated the return to her practice.
