Artists

We will be inviting artists soon!

Hosts

Ruth is a painter and also works on projects connected with place and communitiies. Her paintings explore abstraction through colour, light and surface; work combines inner and outer worlds, with conscious and unconscious elements.  Sometimes emerging from experiences of place and walking, the paintings convey a sensory experience whilst also being concerned with the materiality of paint and process. The scale is often intimate, working 'face to face' with the viewer and there is a sense of touch rather than gesture.   She also manages the programme for the River Stour Festival that has been running since 2017 and in 2019 she set up the Sudbury Silk Festival that runs biennally.

Stuart’s practice is located in places and communities that exist on the fringes, both geographically and socially, with a particular interest in the sonic landscape, capturing overlooked and overheard noises and using sound as a documentative and creative medium. Sound recordings become archival documents, installations, film and computer game soundtracks, music, podcasts and radio broadcasts. He performs live improvised electronic music, curates microlabel Courier and DJ's as USRNM.
