SHOWS NOW ON: JAMES RIGLER AND REBECCA ACKROYD UNTIL 4 MAY

Some superb pictures by Philip Sayer here from our current shows; James Rigler in our main gallery and Rebecca Ackroyd's 'Gross Weight' in the Project Space. Rigler describes 'The Fading City' as being inspired by 'thoughts of ruined and abandoned ancient places, romantic landscapes and stage sets'. His exceptional objects have a wistful yet emphatic presence. Meanwhile, Ackroyd uses the languages of drawing and sculpture to define and distil the characteristics of overlooked things until they emerge as something quite vivid. In this incredible series of works her reference points are items of utility and adornment.

Both shows continue to 4 May.
