Chaos & Order. Jim Birkett

ACCESS GALLERY

CHAOS, complete confusion, utter disorder and entirely random motion In Greek mythology CHOAS, is the primeval state of emptiness. In later Greek philosophy, CHAOS is a mass of muddled forms and elements separated out into the universe. In contrast, ORDER is a state in which everything is in its proper place, tidiness a state of peace and harmony. This exhibition of drawings explores concepts of Chaos and Order.

Fragments. TEAL Art Group

GREEN GALLERY

‘These fragments have I shored against my ruin,’ was appropriated by TS Eliot for The Wasteland. Eliot’s line is relevant to the TEAL group, whose art works become the fragments they leave behind at the end of their lives. The TEAL artists, Peter Nolan (photographer), Kerry Suttonberg (painter), Julie Maclauchlan (painter), Jenny Andres (painter) and Leon Gregory (photographer), have each interpreted the theme at an individual level.
