AN exhibition of mixed media paintings, ceramics and jewellery by Hilary Angle and Barbara Wood is being held at Gallery 49 in Bridlington, East Yorkshire-based artists Hilary Angle and Barbara Wood have exhibited widely throughout the country, both individually and in collaboration on a number of projects over more than 10 years.

Starting on Saturday, Unearthed brings together mixed media, ceramic and jewellery pieces differing from previous joint shows, in that new work has been developed from a common starting point.

During 2012 and 2013, both Hilary and Barbara took part in artistic Chinese Whispers, with eight practitioners working in a variety of media each responding to work produced (in secret) by another member of the group.

One particular piece, a painting by Hilary, precipitated a ceramic piece in response by Barbara that she wished to explore further. That proved to be the starting point for a new body of work from both artists which is exhibited here.

Hilary said: “This exhibition is an experiment in mixed media, combining past experiences in the painter’s studio with new skills from the jeweller’s workshop.

“It has been exciting trying combinations of metal and paint, forging and casting, glazing and scumbling, resulting in new discoveries unearthed from past practices.”

In addition, porcelain and black stoneware beads produced by Barbara have been incorporated into contemporary jewellery by Hilary, making truly collaborative pieces.

Hilary’s skills in working with silver complement the delicate handmade beads and ceramic pieces, to produce a totally new range of individual jewellery. The exhibition also includes silver jewellery by Hilary.

Gallery 49 is open Thursday to Saturday, from 11.30am to 4pm, and Monday, from noon to 4pm.
