Reclamation yards are amongst my favourite places to explore - I'm never disappointed and always find something unexpected. With a little creativity you can imagine the histories behind many of the weird and wonderful objects on display - stories which travel through time and encompass all areas of the globe. This yard , in the South West of England, contains shapes, colours and textures which provided a rich background for creating the images shown in this exhibition.
The 'street art' of Brussels is extraordinary - from the 'wall art' which brings a whole new meaning to the term 'graffiti' to the 'living statues' who bring a mixture of horror, delight and wonder to the children who encounter them. It is an enchanting city with a rich history from the Holy Roman Empire through the 'art nouveau' period to it's present role in Europe. I hope this exhibition gives a flavour of this Belgian city - it is also a salute to the artists. I hope you enjoy it and I hope you choose to visit Brussels.
