What a contemplative and cutting-edge way to launch an
autumn of culture here in Hadleigh!
‘Traces’ is the result of cross-county collaborations
between art studios, but with a fair few artists exhibiting living by the
Thames Estuary. It deals with
places, spaces and identities – something both the Hadleigh Art Trail, and each
artist exhibiting can relate to.
Hadleigh Art Trail Artists Sue Willis and Alan Hockett (both resident
artists at HOFS) are exhibiting experimental pieces that depict a new layer to
their practice, and I am now intrigued as to what their new trail exhibition
will entail!
This exhibition has been described by curator Jane Morrow as
an example of ‘strength derived un numbers’ – Certainly, the colonisation of
artists to Hadleigh Old Fire Station has in itself proved that cultural
developments germinate and grow using just that.
I, myself, can’t wait to support the Hadleigh Art Trail, and
congratulate the Essex Network of Artist Studios for bringing such diverse and
informative works to Hadleigh, just at the right time!
Pop along, if you can – the exhibition is on until Sunday!
