A joint exhibition exploring transient echoes, spaces between and facets of landscape and figure. Fragments of place and time through the lens of three artists. We invite you to join our worlds as we explore a sense of place and time through looking at the unseen. Each of us brings our unique viewpoint to bring a varied response to the theme.

Amy Betts:

Amy is a process-based artist. While she works predominately with collage and print, she also employs layering film and photography within her practice. Amy explores turning the transient into the permanent, capturing in-between states in landscape. She employs framing and viewpoint to research the relationship of place to space within landscape. Examining the connections between spirituality and the everyday through documentation of objects and situations. Amy uses the action of cutting to reconfigure composition and frame detail to highlight the unseen.

Sammi Fletcher:

Sammi Fletcher (b. 1972), lives and works in Gloucestershire. She is currently undertaking her MFA at the University of Gloucestershire after achieving a First Class in her Fine Art BA(hons). Recent exhibitions include the D31 Autumn and the Art Cohort Summer Open, she is currently assisting the Stars of Westgate artist residency. As a disabled single parent, she has faced many hurdles but uses those as a springboard rather than an anchor. A feminist champion of equality for all whose humour and positivity are infectious. She revels in the materiality of surface, medium, paint and colour to drive narrative.

Sammi Fletcher’s research investigates the traumatized female gaze through process-based media. Exploring concepts of memory through figuration, figures unearthed like forgotten memories, or vanished entirely. Sammi is a figurative artist predominately working in oil paint and print. Research plays a large part within her deeply considered practice. She revels in materiality. Each element of her work holds part of the narrative, from surface
