Janet Dawson with Merrick Fry

Their Everyday

6 feb. — 7 mar. 2015

On one level, the works of Janet Dawson and Merrick Fry couldn't be more different; one friend lives in the country, the other in the city but on another, they are both dealing with the found materials of their Everyday and finding renewed beauty in what others might dismiss.  Dawson's exquisitely draws out the beauty of a dead hare, a beetroot or a scattering of apples.  Fry's domestic-scale sculptures are constructed from the disowned or vintage glass and plastic ware discarded by our consumer-driven society.
