Inspired by the beauty of floral trans-species, artist Nicola Jarvie plants a clay garden of voluptuous sculptural forms for ‘Juxtamentary’. Intentionally moulded in white clay, her figures enable light to emphasise the sensuality of their curves, lines and textures. Alongside these floral clusters with two-dimensional creations are Melanie Murphy’s abstract acrylic works on plywood blocks. Each piece is a response to the artist’s interior and exterior environments, reconsidering conventions of form and space.
