Poetry workshop with Agnieszka Studzinska on 23rd May 6-8.30pm.

With Particle Zoo Sandra Beccarelli blurs the lines between exhibition and artist residency by showing a finished body of work alongside work in progress, with visitors playing an active role in determining the direction of the latter. Sandra will occupy the gallery's upper space and provide visitors an opportunity to gain an insight into her creative process.

Particle Zoo is a term coined to describe the myriad of subatomic particles that exist and those still waiting to be discovered within the known universe. These particles form the building blocks of the universe, existing as independent and unique entities with specific characteristics performing their individual function, yet existing within a structure that forms the wondrous universe that we inhabit. Without this multitude of subatomic particles, neither the universe nor our beautiful blue planet would exist in the way it does today.

"I feel that "Particle Zoo" sums up the artist's practice in the studio; a myriad thoughts and ideas can pass through the creative mind, some which come to fruition and some which exist only as a memory waiting to be found another time. The artist's studio could be compared to the scientist's lab delving into unknown territories to pursue an intangible truth. One Paved Court will become my "Particle Zoo" throughout the residency. Upstairs will be my working studio and downstairs complete and incomplete works will hang on the walls, with a weekly change of display as things develop and progress." Sandra Beccarelli

Sandra's paintings are inspired by notions of change, impermanence and transformation expressed through a process that allows for boundless possibilities.

Led by the physicality of painting and the inherent characteristics of materials, compositions evolve through a process of application and erasure, hiding and revealing, often covering both sides of the canvas.
