Beth Williams 'Goddess Army' 29 August to 18 September 2022


Goddess Army
Beth Williams


Goddess Army is a collection of hand-molded clay figures inspired by the Venus of Willendorf, a 30,000 year old oolite carving. Discovered in Austria in 1908, she is thought to be one of the earliest pieces of evidence of humans living in Europe.

As part of a larger collection, these three figures are a reminder of the divine feminine and speak of ancient times when a fuller figure denoted status, not shame. They represent the power women hold, both individually and collectively.

Madi Strong '...promises, promises...' 8 - 28 August 2022




 …promises,promises…

Madi Strong


One of the places I lived as child had a promises box. It contained tiny scrolls of paper with verses of scripture, promises,  printed on them . I loved the pattern and texture they made standing regimented in their box. Sometimes I would be allowed to take the tweezers and extract a scroll . A good girl would then learn the promise by heart. I was not a good girl. In truth I loved the look and feel of it all the best it was a simple pleasure.

As life progresses we all have many experiences with promises, both good and bad. This small installation reflects on them starting with the beautiful fragile material that is porcelain,  which invites touch but is not in this case touchable.
