EIGHT artists working in different mediums have come together on a collaborative year-long art project called Inspirations.

This has involved the creation of a piece of work, which is then handed over to another artist, who then makes a new artwork inspired by this piece, and hands this on to the next artist and so on.

Each artist has created eight artefacts altogether; one from an original by each of the other seven artists. In order to make all the pieces individual, the work was kept "secret" from the other artists apart from the one piece worked on at a time.

The result of the 12-month project is 64 totally unique artworks, which will be displayed together in groups of eight in the Art Gallery space at the Wolds Village restaurant near Bainton, East Yorkshire.

John Pank, who initiated and organised the project, said: “The idea came about after Jacqui Riding and myself were involved in a similar exhibition called 'Send Three and Fourpence' in 2013, which was held at the Treasure House Art Gallery in Beverley.

"We really enjoyed taking part in this event, and so we discussed it with this new group of people who felt that they would like to do something similar. As a result of this 'Inspirations' was born.

"The process has given me an opportunity to work with other artists who use different mediums to the ones I use and as a result has made me think 'outside of the box'. I have made several new pieces of work that I wouldn't have thought of had I not been involved.”

The artists involved are:

Jacqui Riding, a printmaker from Beverley whose work is informed by landscapes, seascapes and the natural world says: “Responding to different artists work was fun and challenging, and took me away from my usual way of seeing and thinking”.

Debbie March, who works in glass and is based in her studio in Beverley. She says: “It was exciting receiving each piece of work to see what inspired me and which direction I could take it. Often ideas came straight away, converting them into glass was the difficult part”.

Penny de Corte, a ceramic sculptor from Pocklington, whose work includes smoke fired and burnished birds, animals and vessels says: “An exciting and enjoyable project to be a part of. Each of the stages stretched my imagination and skills resulting in the creation of 8 unique works of ceramic art that represent my inspirations”.

Corinne Young, a textile artist, from Kilham, near Driffield, who specialises in making botanical themed artwork using paper and stitch. She say: “I am very pleased to have been involved in this interesting and challenging project. It was fascinating to see how all the work related to each other at the final ‘reveal’. Even some pieces where the artists had not seen each other’s work had striking similarities in their designs and colours.

Sally Brealey, a mosaic artist from Bainton whose work is inspired by harmonious colours found objects. Sally is also the owner of The Wolds Village complex and art gallery where the exhibition is being held.

Lee Steele, "The Potter Man" from Holme on Spalding Moor. Lee makes historical pottery and studio ceramics and runs workshops from his studio.

Steve Dove, a painter from North Ferriby, whose colourful landscapes depict the Yorkshire Wolds and John Pank, a woodturner, from Middleton-on-the-Wolds.

The exhibition will run until Thursday, April 21, at the Wolds Village Art Gallery, Bainton. The gallery will be open 10am to 4pm each day.
