An exciting group show by six artists with strong connections to Newlyn – Yolande Armstrong, Dan Pyne, Anita Reynolds, Jo Gorman, Gordon Ellis-Brown and Mike Thorpe.

For many, merely existing in the Age of the Anthropocene creates an acute sensitivity to our actions and interactions with each other and the world around us. This exhibition explores some of the joys and the frictions of co-existence. In a world where we are increasingly understanding to be systems upon systems of inter-dependent networks, everything which happens cannot fail to leave its mark on everything. This exhibition traces some of these marks and asks questions about their significance.

Mark in Time at Jupiter Gallery, Newlyn, Cornwall., 20th to 25th September. Opening event Monday 20th September 6.30-9.00pm

“In The Forest” is an exhibition of porcelain sculptures set to open at Daisy Laing Gallery in Penzance. Taiwanese ceramicist Winnie Lyn has created a bespoke collection of carved and altered, reformed and refined porcelain sculptures, finished in mystery forms of shapes in the forest. Winnie Lyn is one of the key advocate and committee member of Penzance Festival of Art. Her practice concerns experience and memories, aiming to translate the truth and pretense of life into the mediums of ceramics, drawing and mixed sculptures. Currently, focusing on inter-generational narrative, around both human and human to environment dialogues. Winnie Lyn channels her concerns into abstract forms, which carry both an emotional charge and a “radiation” of meaning. From 3rd June to 3rd July, “In The Forest” will be exhibited in Daisy Laing Gallery, Penzance. More details please visit www. DaisyLaing.co.uk or WinnieLyn.Art
