The stuff of making art is curious and unexpected. Paint ? its composition and methods of application are infinite. Drawing - pencils, charcoal, pastel, chalk. Sculpture - from heavy metal to gossamer paper and everything in between. Paper ? of every weight and texture, inks of every hue and attribute. Mixed Media. The possibilities are endless.

Here at Wilson Street Gallery, we have scarcely dipped our ladle into this soup of materials and techniques. But over summer we begin to stir.
Suzanne Archer?s Shelf-Life plays with paint in sculpture and sculpture in paint. Text mixes the visual and the legible with paper, canvas, books,
boxes and polymer clay. We return to the canvas with Michelle Collocott, but the subtleties of tissue and pen lie beneath the painted surface. For Helen Geier, in her first exhibition at the gallery, we see paper, pen and charcoal folded cut and laid.

The practice of art is an unending series of discoveries, as complex in its possibilities as the theories and concepts which underpin the creative process. But here we are dealing with the tangible and the tactile. So satisfying!

And a final word on words. Our group exhibition Text has inspired us to zoom in on artists? words ? from conversation to poetry. Enjoy!
