Layered Memories of Conflict
10 September to 29 October 2016
Sculpture Space
This installation, made specifically for the Sculpture Space, incorporates clay, paper and iron. Each holds a different representation of memory and of strength, fragility, vulnerability, brittleness. There is ambiguity in the materials used, iron can be a much weaker material than paper and yet we think an iron backbone is strong and a paper spine is weak; the opposite is the case.
John Carter RA
‘Adeiledd ac Arwynebedd’
10 September to 26 November 2016
Owen Owen Gallery
John Carter RA is best known for his abstract reliefs, frequently described as being a dialogue between painting and sculpture. The apparent simplicity of his work disguises a subtlety which plays with our perceptions. An inherent element of his inspiration has been many years of visiting the Machynlleth area.

Richard Blacklaw-Jones
Mixed Messages – Signs of Modern Life from the Beach
10 September to 26 November 2016
