i·den·ti·ty
After the success of the exhibition ‘What’s Left?’ at the opening of the Crown Gallery in 2010, Julie Elise, Anna Bridges and Simon Whyte are returning with their newest show.
i·den·ti·ty is a photographic exhibition exploring the physical, mental and fabricated realities of the 21st century person. Showcasing the collaborative work of these three local artists, the exhibition looks at different aspects of self and how we perceive on another. Identity can interpreted in many forms, how we present ourselves, our emotional state, and, the physicalities of our anatomy. Are these aspects preset to determine our behavior, or is there a certain amount of environmental influences that play a part in shaping and developing who we become?

The Cumbria Collection
An exhibition of photographic collages by Steve Cross
Saturday 3rd until 29th March.
The Cumbria collection contains pieces ranging in size from A2 to A0. These works have been constructed during the last 3 years of my living in the area. They are derived from the natural beauty found from my many explorations of the Lake District. These pieces have been an exciting new phase of working for me and I have ultimately enjoyed letting the natural beauty I have recorded and gathered, subconsciously inform and guide me toward the finished creations.
