There's a chance to see Margaret Sharrow's current work, featuring new departures in alternative photographic processes and mixed media. This solo show will be on display at the Town Hall Cafe in Lampeter, Wales throughout the month of April. 

Come and see the work, have a fresh ground coffee or sandwich, enjoy the sun streaming through the huge south-facing windows, or wait eagerly for the specials to go up on the board (from 12 noon).

The exhibition is open Monday to Friday 8am to 5pm, and Saturday 9am to 5pm, throughout April 2010.

Aberystwyth University School of Art MA Show Opening

Chatting by Philippa Sibert's installation, 'Aloft: 300 Birds 300 Steps 6000 Miles'.

Photographs copyright Margaret Sharrow 2009

Last night's opening of the second Aberystwyth University School of Art MA show was both challenging and well-attended.

Quite frankly, I was overwhelmed by the crush just getting to the north room to see Philippa Sibert's excellent installation and Diane Heeks' latest developments in what I may have to, for the time being, call three dimensional abstract painting, hovering in a very interesting place somewhere between painting and sculpture.

As for getting into Ffion Nolwenn Roberts' installation of pinhole photography, I could only lift the black curtain on the door to be confronted by the woman attempting to enter ahead of me stepping back out, proclaiming, 'It's full.'

As Alice Farnworth, another student exhibiting pinhole photography (but not as we know it, Jim - on a massive scale!) said, 'I was afraid the crowd would be rather thin tonight, but I'm delighted by how many people have turned out.'

Here, here.

Note: all the photographs shown here were taken at the end of the evening, when, the wine having long since run out, there was finally room to swing a cat, or at least a compact digital camera.

Other work shown by Sebastian Gray, Chris Iliff, Colin John Leythorne, and Clare Rose, and will be described along with the others in due course, when I've had a chance to see the exhibition without all the people.

Exhibition continues until 9 October, Monday to Friday, 9am-5pm.
