THRESHOLD

Three MA graduates bring you an exciting collection of their most recent and thought-provoking work. Having reached a threshold, either in their thinking, in life, or as creatives, these emerging artists peel back the delicate layers of life to lay bare their own personal perspective. Statement forms are beautifully interspersed with intricate stitch, print work and translucent sculptures to produce a cohesive and extremely emotive exhibition.

Threshold Exhibition Poster

Ali Lees
Personal and intimate experiences are the backbone to Ali’s practice.  She explores loss, death and the process of bereavement in a natural, intuitive and organic approach to making. She creates willow frameworks layered with ink printed paper, that are imbued with metaphor, that echo ‘stuckness’ and shedding associated with grief.

Melanie Jordan
A haptic practice with thread-based crafts at its core, Melanie’s art pays attention to the inner tension between the need to nurture and a feeling of entrapment associated with motherhood; that is maternal ambivalence.

Lorrain Mailer
Using repetitive processes, Lorrain’s practice is one of enfoldment.  Ephemeral, fragile, and often transparent, her sculptures are made from everyday materials, achieved through a labour-intensive craft process of wrapping, as she seeks to question double standards and duplicity.
