Liminal Point: An exhibition of sculpture and painting exploring liminality. The point where one thing merges into another; night to day, earth to sky, sea to earth, life to death, silence to noise.
Sadly Liminal Point was cut short due to lockdown but here is some information on this talented artist and some pictures of this wonderful exhibition. Carola was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. After completing a degree in sculpture at Edinburgh College of Art she spent several years in Portugal and Hungary before settling on the Isle of Man in 1993 with her family. She lived there for twenty years and in that time exhibited widely and ran a continuous program of workshops from her studio. She left the island in 2012 and currently splits her time between studios in Banbury and Portugal. |
'Initially my interest was sparked by sacred landscape – ancient megaliths, their position within the landscape and associated ideas of journeying, mapping, mark making and threshold. I work from direct observational drawing of landscape and my surroundings, and weave them together with images gathered and recorded in my sourcebooks from myth, memory and imagination. I am interested in knots, weaving and patterns, in their use in storytelling and as aids to memory since prehistory.
The physicality of mark making and sculpture is important to me, and I work in many different media from pencil on paper to egg tempera on gesso panels to stone fired ceramics. The process of making the glazes or the gesso panels etc. is an integral part of the creative process.
This exhibition is the culmination of several interlinked projects with poets and artists I have been working on for the past seven years, as part of my ongoing investigation ‘9 Threads Woven’.’

A Fresh Contemporary Exhibition by West Oxfordshire Artists
Over 40 of our 2D and 3D artist members submitted new work for this wonderful exhibition in February, the first member show of 2020 and, sadly, the last member show before lockdown. We were once again we were overwhelmed at how our members met the challenge of New Work and submitted such a wonderful diverse selection. |
