ONLINE SOLO EXHIBITION
'She Danced Beneath the Weight of the Clouds’ by Olivia Dunn ASGFA
31st October 2026 - 6pm online release
The Gallery is delighted to present a new and intimate collection of original works by the remarkable Olivia Dunn.
Olivia, draws deeply from the surrounding landscape, grounding her compositions in the natural environment that informs her practice. This body of work speaks with both joy and resilience, an exploration of endurance shaped by the persistent weight of societal expectations placed upon young girls and women. Her works, are rooted in the landscapes of North Yorkshire, are threaded with the recurring presence of clouds. These forms are not merely atmospheric; they carry symbolic weight, embodying both personal experience and the shared burdens passed through generations.

CERAMICS AND SCULPTURAL WORKS
31st October – 10th November 2026
Fired Earth: brings together sculptural and ornamental works that challenge the boundaries between craft and fine art, offering a renewed way of seeing clay as both material and a medium of thought.
Through the transformation of earth by fire, these works explore the expressive possibilities of stoneware and earthenware. Traditionally associated with function and decoration, ceramics are reimagined here as vessels of contemplation. Texture, glaze, and form become critical gestures, inviting reflection on permanence, fragility, and the value of the handmade.
