Alison Holt and Jaci Hogan - Textures and Rhythms

Textures and Rhythms is a joint exhibition from Alison Holt and Jaci Hogan, established artists who work in two distinctly different media; textiles and pastels.
Having exhibited together regularly for the past five years, the artists have discovered a synergy between the stitches of Alison’s landscapes and the mark making of Jaci’s seascapes. Together they explore seasonal changes, natural patterns, and elemental textures found in nature.

Alison studied at Goldsmiths and has developed a technique of free motion machine embroidery. This way of working enables Alison to paint landscapes with stitches in complex layers, giving richness of colour and a subtly sculptural texture to her work. Alison explores the interplay of light and shadow, bringing depth and atmosphere to her landscapes.

Jaci Hogan is a pastel artist whose work focuses on the sea and coastal landscapes. Having grown up in Australia, Jaci uses her childhood memories to imbue her work with the feeling of serenity she feels when by the sea. She has a fascination with the intricate patterns of sea foam and loves exploring the visual rhythm of the ocean.

Exhibition closes: Saturday 16 May 5.00pm
