DESCRIPTION:Exhibition runs from Monday 2 November - Saturday 28 November 2
 015\nOpen Evening - Wednesday 4 November from 19.30 - 21.30 - all welcome
 !\n\nPatterns in Nature - Laura Weston and Pam Pauling\n\nLaura Weston\nLa
 ura Weston is a designer of limited edition prints and applied art inspir
 ed by local nature\, form and pattern. She creates block\, intaglio\, rel
 ief and hybrid prints working from home and at print workshops including 
 Bluecoat Print Studio.\n\nLaura studied fine art at Wolverhampton Polytech
 nic between1984 and 1987 &amp\; embarked on a career as an Animator and L
 ecturer.\n\nShe continues to lecture at the faculty of Art and Creative Te
 chnologies at Staffordshire University. In 2009 she resumed drawing and p
 ainting and now exhibits her prints and artworks in galleries throughout 
 the UK.\n\nIn August 2015 her first illustrated picture book "The Butterfl
 y Garden" was published by Big Picture Press. Signed Copies of the book w
 ill be available during "Patterns in Nature" at Staacks Gallery West Kirb
 y.\n\nPam Pauling\nPam creates colourful pieces of work using an eclectic 
 mix of materials including fabrics\, vintage maps\, postcards and other r
 ecycled items that people may ordinarily throw away. Whether she is creat
 ing a piece of artwork or recycled brooch\, every little scrap or corner 
 of postage stamp\, fabric\, ribbon or paper is kept for a project\, nothi
 ng is wasted.\n\nOnce selected\, each piece is carefully and painstakingl
 y positioned to create intricate and delicate artworks. Pam's work is cha
 racterised by small bursts of bright colours\, clean lines and crisp neut
 ral backgrounds. My love of repetition\, order and symmetry is highlighte
 d in her signature Travelling Butterfly pieces where every butterfly and 
 piece of raw silk is hand cut.\n\nThese pieces\, which at first glance\, 
 appear to the viewer as one single piece per butterfly\, are actually mad
 e up of hundreds of different postage stamps.\nIn this latest exhibition:
  Patterns In Nature\, Pam explores the use of handmade textured papers em
 bedded with leaves and petals and experiments with East African wax fabri
 cs\, the patterns of which are reminiscent of the striking colours found 
 on tropical butterflies.
