 Candice Lin: Collection of books within installation reminiscent of a pop up book.

 

Candice Lin:  Really liked the incorporation of text and considered how I could use something similar.

Love the shadows thrown from the cardboard cutouts.

 

Very much enjoying these too

 This conceptual exhibtion was lost on me. It said what it needed to quite quickly so the rest of the exhibition felt drawn out - but the building made me consider studio and gallery spaces- This building was amazing - full of original features and sash windows and big doors.  Made me consider the studio spaces in stoke which are often cold, in need of maintenance, some are old industrial or commercial spaces and some have that damp smell.. Feels very different,

LOVED this - and considered printing one of my paintings onto canvas like this is- it's lush. but time and logistics meant I've not done this.

AI use in these paintings made a quick disconnect for YB.  I don't think the AI would be received in Stoke either- although I've seen AI used as more of a tool in Stoke and that worked well.

This felt like an authentic honest cohesive exhibition - really enjoyed bow arts and speaking to them about how they started and how they're progressing. They're well received within the community and have funding for lots of projects that have context and substance. Another great building that they spoke about in terms of the relationship with the landlord and investment in it - and expansion.
