GLENN ADAMSON'S OPEN FREQUENCY PROFILE ON CAROL MCNICOLL FEATURED IN 'THIS IS TOMORROW'

This Is Tomorrow, the online contemporary art magazine, have posted a wonderful Open Frequency Profile by Dr. Glenn Adamson about Marsden Woo Gallery artist Carol McNicoll. Originally published on Axisweb in 2013, the article is a brilliantly personal account of the artist's life and work.

'Best known, perhaps, as a ceramic artist – her work in the medium is in the collection of many museums…she is also (in no particular order) a political activist, community gardener, clothing designer, subcultural denizen, ace draughtsman, and when it comes to her own environment, an architect.'

To read this fascinating piece please click here.

Carol McNicoll will be exhibiting a new body of work alongside fellow artist Jacqui Poncelet at Marsden Woo Gallery from 6 November - 20 December 2014. In the meantime, take a look at some images of her work throughout the years...

SHOWS NOW ON: SARA RADSTONE (MAIN GALLERY) AND PATRICK COCKRAM (PROJECT SPACE)

Our exciting new shows have just opened and will run until 10 May.

In the main gallery, Sara Radstone's abstract ceramic sculptures express a personal exploration into history, memory and place, and the trace of human activity.

Meanwhile, in the Project Space, Patrick Cockram's site-specific installation analyses the architecture of the gallery space.

Some superb installation images below by Philip Sayer...
