HAVING previously looked at subjects as wide ranging as Alzheimer’s and Mind Shadow, artists (and friends) Vivienne Sole and Jane Tudge now turn their attention to some of their most intimate and personal expressions of loves, losses and memories in an exhibition, Woman to Woman, at the Apple Store Gallery.
Works include artists’ books, wax and felt sculpture and images conjured from appropriated materials.
“As the two of us have developed our artistic practices and acted as critical sounding boards, so our friendship has developed,” says Jane.
“This show is a celebration of that and an acknowledgement of us as individuals and our support for each other.
“We are women. We talk. We do that in the usual way, and we do that through our artistic practices. This is our conversation.
“Viv is my wise woman, and her understanding and clear-sightedness into the human condition is evidenced in her work.”
The exhibition is accompanied by paintings and drawings of asylum seekers by Maz Winstanley from Ebbw Vale. Some of the work is also being shown as part of an ongoing programme of complementary exhibitions at Castle House Hotel, Castle Street, Hereford.
Woman to Woman is at the Apple Store Gallery, 3 Bridge Street, Hereford. Open Tuesday to Friday, 9.30am to 4.30pm and Saturdays 10am to 1pm.
