The Bedding Planes

There is solace in beauty and it nourishes the soul.
‘The Bedding Planes’ documents a moment in time, perhaps with tiny traces on a well worn path. Beauty is at its heart.

In geological terms a bedding plane is a surface representing contact between a deposit and a depositing medium such as water and atmosphere during a time of change and this is reflected in a difference in texture or composition, with a bedding plane representing the visible line of change. This bedding plane however takes a more nuanced form and includes works made from layers of colour, paper and clay. The pop up Gallery lies at the bottom of a long narrow ‘natural’ garden that is a haven for wildlife and biodiversity. As the viewer navigates their way to the room along a winding path through birdsong and dappled light from the surrounding trees the journey itself becomes a contemplative experience and the boundary between art and nature disappears.

The Bedding Planes is curated by Helena Gorey and shows her works on paper alongside forms and vessels in clay by Rob Pearson and Peter Scroope and introduces Roise O’Shea.

Open daily from 2.00pm to 6.00pm from the 10th to 17th August 2025.
