The wrecking shore (detail) | £985 | Oil | 81cm x 81cm

Kate van suddeseKate’s distinctive seascapes have become a firm favourite with many of our customers. She has been painting for over 20 years and this new work is based upon the words of the navy hymn “For Those In Peril on the Sea”. “I was struck by the honest mixture of awe, passion and respect reflected in the words of a man ( William Whiting) who had experienced the awesome ferocity of a fierce storm first hand.”

Kate’s response to the hymn was to create a set of images embodying this ferocity, the power of the raging storm and the contrasting calm when the tumult ceases.

“The Sailor” is a personal nod of respect to the memory of a friend, an old Norwegian seaman who lived with the sea in his heart and mind.

For those in peril on the seaEternal Father, strong to saveWhose arm hath bound the restless wave.Who bidd’st the mighty ocean deepIts own appointed limits keep:Oh hear us when we cry to theeFor those in peril on the sea.O Christ, whose voice the waters heard,

And hushed their raging at they wordWho walked’st on the foaming deepAnd calm amid the storm didst sleep: O hear us when we cry to theeFor those in peril on the sea.O Hholy Spirit, who didst brood

Upon the chaos dark and rudeAnd bid the angry tumult ceaseAnd give for wild confusion peace:O hear us when we cry to theeFor those in peril on the sea.O trinity of love and powerOur brethren shield in danger’s hour.

From rock and tempest, fire and foeProtect them wheresoe’er they go:O hear us when we cry to theeFor those in peril on the sea. The navy hymn (William Whiting)

To coincide with Northern Print’s biennale event Print City, The Biscuit Factory is proud to present this exhibition of seven exciting artists using the medium of print.Exploring diverse subject matters and utilising a wide range of different printing techniques the exhibition is sure to prove very popular.

JOANNE CAMPBELL

Using strong colours and experimenting with collage, texture and pattern, Joanne Campbell creates screen printed images with illustrative detail in dream like scenes.

Claire McAlistairClaire is a Northern Irish painter from Lisburn, County Antrim. She has been living and painting in Newcastle upon Tyne for four years. Claire graduated from Dundee’s Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design in 2003. She also studied Fine Art and Community Art in Belfast, Manchester and San Diego. Claire has been oil painting for ten years, and has been part of many exhibitions in

different countries, including Belfast, Shanghai, San Diego and Melbourne. This current series of work focuses on the human form and decorative fabrics. Each figurative study has been strategically composed to accentuate light on the figure within the frame. Claire wants to create contrast between decorative detail on the clothing with

a soft, more blurred background. It is not the artist’s intention to focus on the figure’s character or facial expression; more so the environment, moment and light in which the figure is placed.

The fabric paintings are intentionally focusing on pattern, decoration and colour, all being influenced by composition, light and depth.

Paula DunnPaula Dunn is a well respected artist who works from Yorkshire.“I am fascinated by light, colours, textures and shades; I enjoy experimenting with techniques such as impasto, the use of palette knives, and the application of glazes. My pri-mary consideration when looking for an image to interpret is the effect of

the colour, or the combinations of the colours within that image.; I need to be attracted to the image, to have my imagination fired by what I see before I can determine how to realise it on canvas.” The Cuba Series derives from the hundreds of photographs Paula took while wandering the streets

of Havana, Cienfuegos and Trinidad, in early summer. These images are of cityscapes devoid of iconic buildings; the ordinary city as it offered itself up to the camera lens. The overwhelming feeling in these great cities of Cuba is one of infinitesimal decay. Paula sees her paintings as an attempt to restore the lost dignity and beauty of these structures.

Sue FenlonSusan’s home in Northumberland overlooks the estuary at Alnmouth towards the sea. Her paintings are taken from endless walks on the moorlands of Northumberland and coastal pathways.Susan collects wild flowers and grasses,

to gather the colours and textures to create her paintings.“My paintings reflect the way nature through the season’s changes in colour, texture and emotions on the landscape, meadows and

hedgerows. I paint in many layers of colour and texture, to give depth and a sense of being part of the work.”

Jolyon YatesBorn in Durham, 1968, Jolyon studied Industrial Design at Sheffield Hallam University and then Automotive Styling at the Royal College of Art, London. With his heavily design-influenced

background, Yates is now focused on the design of ODEChair, a new venture launched in 2008 involving the making of unique and distinctive one-off, low volume furniture. The furniture is

inspired by friends and family, nature, the ocean, Northumberland and New Zealand. His designs are beautifully streamlined, contemporary in form and ergonomically designed.

‘In a world of loveless volume manufacturing odechairs display soul by reflecting the care and honesty with which they have been conceived and crafted.’

Claire MoneyClaire’s work is primarily about a sense of place. Rarely populated by people, her paintings and drawings are inspired by locations that she feels some connection to. “I am not interested in recreating the past or of ignoring the future but of recording the layers of experience at once revealed and buried by the elements and the relentless pace of change.”

Tim BrownTim Brown was born in 1969 in Hurworth, Darlington, County Durham. He now lives with his family in beautiful Swaledale in between Richmond and Downholme.

His paintings primarily deal with the figure or a solitary figure walking. The intention is to invite the viewer to build their own narrative around the painting. Who are they? Are the happy or sad?

Where are they going or where have they been? The paintings are only a catalyst for a much bigger picture painted in the mind of the onlooker.

Mark Dally (M.A), studied at Staffordshire University, Stoke on Trent where he specialised in Ceramics and Surface Pattern. Dally is renowned for his ‘Black & White Ware’, highly functional tableware with a bold, contemporary take on traditional Staffordshire slipware. This range is made in high-fired white earthenware and decorated using traditional slip trailing and brushed slip techniques.

Born in Prague, Peter Layton studied ceramics at the Central School of Art and Design in London. Peter currently works in a hot glass studio with a reputation as one of Europe’s leading glassmaking workshops. With a particular flair for the use of colour, form and texture he produces individual pieces of decorative glass in sculptural and functional forms. Self taught as a glassmaker, Peter’s work is organic and tactile, striving to achieve a form of controlled asymmetry.

After considerable experience in the field, Stuart Ackroyd now runs a glass workshop in Nottinghamshire.

Each unique piece of glass is hand blown in lead crystal, then selectively etched, ground, drilled and hand polished by his highly skilled team, to reveal an inner chamber, or contrasting area of interest.

In 2000 Dennis Kilgallon established his own company creating limited editions of robust, high fired, monumental sculptures.“My inspiration comes from a fascination with antiquity and mythology created by childhood memories of living on the island of Cyprus.” The work establishes a dialogue between material, form, message and the environment, and all works are suitable for outdoor display.

Rebecca Clarkson is the designer/maker behind ‘Donegan Designs’, a ceramics studio located in the heart of the Vale of Glamorgan, South Wales.Originally trained as a painter, she now produces a range of bone-china tableware. These pieces are decorated with ceramic transfers of extraordinary lustre. They use digitally manipulated designs to produce thoroughly fresh and modern products.

Aspinall graduated from Northumbria University in 2007, and now holds the position of Designer in Residence.“My designs are the result of looking at issues within every day life and responding to them both practicality and with an element of humour. ” Each teaspoon is hand-cut, delicately welded and plated with sterling silver. A hand-stitched fabric bag completes the presentation.

Phillip lives and works near the Welsh borders. Graduating from Camberwell School of Art, he turned to full-time design work in the late 1970s. Phillip’s vessels are made of solid Bronze Metal. The coloured interior surface is created by enforced oxidisation of the bronze metal, like verdigris with different chemicals producing different colours. The inspiration for his work comes from both architecture and the natural landscape.

Roger bellRebecca is a highly accomplished sculptural ceramicist, graduating with MA in Ceramics from The University of Wales Institute, Cardiff in 2004. She now lives and works in Scotland. “I aim to kindle a nostalgic reflection of childhood, and recreate the excitement of early years that is lost as the imagination conforms to the rational structures of the adult mind.”

Trained in ceramics at Sutton College Of Liberal Arts, Roger now works mainly with grogged handbuilding clays, wood-fired with dolomite glaze and oxide colours using cobalt for blue and iron for brown.

After 15 years making functional items, Kingsford now works in rural Lancashire, solely producing Raku and smoke-fired ware responding to its immediacy and the direct relationship between fire and clay.Kingsford’s elegant work subtly combines carefully observed realism with streamlined, concise style.

Jane is an up and coming North East based designer who creates miniature pieces of art to wear for any occasion. Each vibrant brooch is exquisitely handmade using soft colourful felts. Her work is striking and unique, making it the perfect gift.

Plus you can be re-assured that no two will ever be the same. Lovingly made and gorgeous to wear…one will never be enough!Please note: Each piece is a handmade one-off so designs will vary from images.

Interaction and versatility are two of the most important aspects to Kaz Robertson’s work. In her jewellery, she sets magnets with resin so that pieces can be easily changed. Kaz sees each piece as a wearable toy and hopes the versatility will suprise and

amuse to provide a diversion from everyday stress and boredom. Kaz believes colour is an essential element in her work. Layering translucent resin over opaque helps achieve a richer finish and a wider colour range.

Susan’s work has become a Biscuit Factory favourite; her work is unashamedly decorative taking it influences from floral imagery and patterns using the motif’s of Art Nouveau and Art Deco. Many pieces in the range recapture the feminity of the

time, whilst updating it with a moden twist to create a new interpretation. Precious metals, mainly silver, are combined with leather, formica, mother of pearl or semi-precious beads to create beautiful hand-made jewellery.

Laura Bradshaw-Heap is the designer behind Stitch and Silver; her work is inspired by her years of growing up in theatre during pantomime season and her self confessed “magpie ability to collect anything that sparkles.” She draws inspiration from old

button boxes, recycled fabrics and found objects. The idea that so called “useless” items can be turned into something “useful” is her impetus. Resin is used to fix the contents creating a glass like effect and giving the impression of movement inside.

Louise Davies was born in 1963. She was brought up in the South-West of England, mainly living in Bath. She now lives in Blackheath in London.She works from her studio in Brixton which she shares with four other professional artists.

Louise’s work is concerned with places and landscapes she has visited from the past and present. She is also interested in the natural light and the effect it has on the landscape. Her paintings and prints evolve from sketches and ideas from which she then works on in her

studio. Often she will not know how the end product will appear. The strong individual lines she uses, along with the vibrant colours is intuitive to her, developed from years of putting images together in a visual field.

Steve Mayes is a very successful photographer known particularly for his dramatic images of architecture and the landmarks of the North East.This new collection of photographs sees Steve exploring new territory with beautiful images of abstract rock formations. These were taken on a trip to the Isle of Eriska, a small Scottish island near Oban. The photographs were all taken on the same day along a single stretch of coastline no more than a mile in length.

Lee frost has spent many years shooting the classic views and locations of the north east in glorious colour. In his new series Time and Tide Lee has created a collection of images which he hopes will reveal the North East coast in quite literally a different light. The key to these images lies in the use of long exposures – anything from a couple of minutes to 15 minutes – which allows him to record the passing of time rather than simply freezing it. Stationary elements in a scene remain sharp and full of detail, while moving elements – primarily sea and sky – are reduced to soft washes of tone.

Amie Nowlan’s photographs are reminiscent of cinema stills from low budget horror and monster movies. Her creative and playful images are made with pinhole cameras and

challenge the traditional role of photography as a conveyor of truth. Amie’s images are open to interpretation and allow the viewer to provide their own narrative.

In Amie’s images, dinosaurs rampage through city streets and do battle with soldiers while aliens creep up on unsuspecting lovers.
