and Astrid Chesney



Anna Bhushan


and Anna B

I have been an admirer of Anna's work for some time and am delighted she is exhibiting with us at Bristol - her work has that rare quality - one that captures the magical wavelength that animals hold - and like Munch's 'Alpha and Omega' drawings - the creatures and humans occupy another plain.

The show in February will bring together a collection of artists and academics and their personal, intuitive responses to habitat and Landscape.The reflective work on display will range from Photography to Bookworks, Painting, Printmaking, Drawing, Collage autobiography & Prose. Landscapes of experience and recall.

On the evocative subject of Memory, habitat and recollection Marcel Prousts lyrical writing and Bachalard's book 'The Poetics of Space' are both often referenced as seminal texts by Visual Artists to give their works literate meaning and poetic context. Of our Contemporary writers on the human condition Alain De Botton writes the most warmly. Yet Visual Language is arguably the more emotive conduit for the evocation of memory and experience' than even the written word.
