Park Life
Saturday 23 April to Saturday 4 June A contemporary exhibition at Honeywood Museum showcasing the work of the artists currently at the studios, on the theme of the beauty, nature and history of Oaks Park and its buildings. The artists cover many disciplines of creativity from glass, ceramics, mixed media, oil, print, sculpture to storytelling and performance. |
The holistic exhibition will be built from many facets, glimpses of times past, to bring local history and stories to life for the borough.
Some of the exciting work being made is highlighted here. Ingrid Barber will be looking at the characters and ghosts from the rich history of the Oaks house and she has used mixed media to depict an imaginary tea party where the Earl and his wife entertain the recent Derby winners in the drawing room at Oaks Park.
Guest artist Neal Vaughan has developed his workshop idea into a beautiful animated horse sequence to be displayed on a loop in the gallery at the Honeywood. There will be photos of 3D creatures, a Spellbound sketchbook by Doug Shaw, plus woodcuts and prints by Kate Marsden and other members of the newly created print workshop. Jo Sharpe is focusing on the wild flora around the park and Simon Burder is exploring work about Woodmansterne Road and the fields around the Oaks Track.
