THREADS ACROSS WATERS
An Exhibition of Painting, Print and Sculpture by Carola Colley
Inspired by the poetry of Usha Kishore
Carola Colley is a contemporary artist working in a wide variety of media. Threads across Waters is her ongoing ekphrastic collaboration with the Indian born poet Usha Kishore. Carola and Usha share a fascination for myth, particularly in the exploration of female mythical figures and in a feminist interpretation of myth. Both are pre-occupied with cross-cultural aspects of myth, involving mythical characters and their transcultural avatars, whether Indian, Celtic, Norse, Graeco-Roman or Chinese.
THREADS ACROSS WATERS promises to be a vibrant mixture of painting in oil and watercolour, mixed media print, sculpture and poetry.
There will be an opportunity to meet Carola and Usha at the gallery on Saturday 15th October, from 5 p.m, when Usha will also be giving a reading of her poetry.
Usha will be running a workshop entitled Poetising Myth on Saturday 15th October 2.30 - 4 p.m.
