I went along to the Oriel Gallery at Salem Chapel yesterday evening, to sip a glass of white wine while looking at the exhibits. What a lot of talented people!
One name that jumped out at me from the catalogue was Gena Davies. I knew Gena years ago when we were both volunteering for the Brecknock Wildlife Trust, and she was very much into photography then. Now she's expanded her skills to include small sculptures - she has several alabaster carvings on display, and a rather lovely dolphin in limestone, as well as some photographs.
There were also watercolours, and screenprinting, and something called a collagraph, oil paintings, linocuts, ceramics, and a sculpture made of round pieces of wood mounted in a sinuous line, bolted onto metal, which reminded me of a backbone in a frame, and was called Adam and Eve.
All the people exhibiting belong to 'take pART', the Brecon Community Arts Workshop - and they are all brilliant!
