A very warm welcome to
Saltaire Arts Trail 2015
We’re excited and delighted
to be back, filling the village
with art and bringing your
favourite Open Houses
and Makers Fair, each
with a twist to keep them
fresh, as well some really
special extras, thanks to
major funding boosts from
Bradford MDC and Arts
Council England.
We have something for everyone this
year: creative activities for you to be
part of, demonstrations to engage and
amaze you, contemporary craft & design
for you to admire, desire, commission
and buy, and challenging exhibitions,
installation and performance to
keep your artistic appetite whetted
throughout the long weekend.
Saltaire really is a unique place, not
just for its internationally recognised
architectural heritage, but for a
community that can come together to
create something of the size, quality and
variety of this wonderful event - in its
own home, so to speak.
Our theme for this year is Craft and
Making, and there are opportunities
throughout the weekend not only for
you to encounter well-made objects
but also to find out more about the act
of making through demonstrations and
experiences.
There’s a lot to see, so we’d just like to
make sure you don’t miss some of the
special treats we have for you.
Rural Crafts Re-imagined... at the Salt
Building is a unique exhibition of the very
best of traditional craft in contemporary
practice and comes to Saltaire as the
first step of its 2015 tour of the north of
England.
Silvia Ziranek is an international
performance artist who has researched
Saltaire with local historian Roger Clarke in
order to produce her new work, MEVILLE
to be performed at 2pm each day.
Fuse Art Space will create a multi-sensory,
synaesthetic experience of moving light,
sound, colours and shapes.
And then there’s our redesigned main
programme:
The Makers Fair now attracts the very
best of contemporary craft and design.
Unique in concept as well as construction,
this is affordable art with a real wow factor.
Our Open Houses now consist of not
one, but two trails! For Made in Saltaire,
you’re invited into the homes of artists who
live and work in the village, and who have
curated their own homes, inviting friends
and colleagues to share. In the Villagewide Gallery, you’ll see artists from across
the UK, selected by professionals and
hosted by local residents and businesses.
With so much to see, it’s fortunate that
it’s a long weekend...

Alice Fox
Local artist Alice’s work is
contemplative and quiet, but
look closely and you’ll discover
there is complex activity;
patterns can appear both
random and organised. Look
again and there is something
new to discover. Each
piece can be seen as a small
record of a walk; a journey or
moment from a journey.

A unique opportunity to
see behind the doors of the
UNESCO World Heritage
Site. Local residents have
kindly offered their homes
as gallery spaces affording
you the opportunity to
see the best contemporary
artwork from across the
country in domestic settings.
This collection explores her
preoccupation with the way
that objects can be created to
manipulate the spaces they
contain, and the spaces they
occupy.
Fragile and delicate yet brittle
and sharp, Gillian’s work made
from the stalks and calyx of
the Fuller’s teasel, hangs in
space. There is an emptiness
about it, an absence. But, as
the shadows play beneath it,
there is a fleeting presence,
and a sense of something
having been abandoned that
recalls our agricultural and
industrial past.

Imogen
Clarkstone
Based in Yorkshire, Imogen
creates angular, folded,
sculptural containers that
lean, peer and stretch into
the spaces they inhabit.
Drawing inspiration from the
ever-changing colours and
moods of the land, sea and
skyscape of Yorkshire and
travels further afield, Valerie
combines fibres, threads,
textiles and print elements
to create felt pieces with a
contemporary and refined feel.

Zareena Bano
Incorporating the different
styles of Arabic script,
Bradford-based artist Zareena
uses mixed media such as
copper, sand, acrylic and
outliners to create bold and

calligraphy the geometric
patterns and modern
contemporary designs

William J Gall Following a sunny, but cold
Sunday afternoon walk in
February, William created his
work for the Saltaire Arts Trail
‘Seen through the trees’. He
was inspired by the static hard
lines of the buildings against
the more fluid and twisted
lines of the trees which often
obscured them, but now bare
of leaf, allowed the view to
become clear.

Lucas Stephens
Lucas lives in Norway and
Thornton and regularly
collaborates with his partner
Morwenna Catt. Using paint
affords him the opportunity
to use colour in his art works.
Whilst being bi-lingual, Lucas
prefers for paintings to speak
for him.

Morwenna Catt
Designed to encourage
connections, intrigue and
engagement, Morwenna’s work
can make socio-political points
and have a dark, subversive
edge, but it can also be playful
and tongue in cheek. She is
drawn to projects that allow
stories to be told and creative
narratives with objects.

Rejectamental
Jacqui’s recent works have

Cath Brooke
Yorkshire-based Cath uses
rural, urban and, most
recently, industrial landscapes
as a starting point for her
prints. She sketches in all
weathers, and so the elements
play a large part in defining
the spirit of her work. Using
colour and composition to
create an atmosphere, her
work includes a sense of
history and place and a human
connection.

Rosanna
Casserly
Georgina’s time consuming
practice of dissecting and
reconstructing maps by hand
brings order to the chaotic
world that a map represents.
A map has its own inherent
language that illustrates the
geographical and social history
of a place. By applying a strict
set of ordered techniques, she
manipulates this information
to create each piece of work.

Jo Aylmer
Using ceramic and mixed
media sculpture, Jo’s work
is motivated by an interest in
physical and psychological
responses to material and
form. Lumen investigates
our reaction to colour and
light. Jo uses the illuminated

fragility, clarity, perfection and
imperfection. In creating a
relationship between light and
clay, Lumen is concerned with
sensation and memory.

Anthony Ratcliffe Once winner of the Yorkshire
‘Fellsman’ long distance race,
Yorkshire-born Anthony uses
running and mountaineering

Researching natural history,
archaeology, geography and

interested in the remnants of
the past land usage found in
remote areas of our coastline
and moorlands.

Carla Moss
Carla’s work is inspired by
our relationship with the
environment, and the
landscapes shown at the

by the Aral Sea in Kazakhstan.
They are landscape lines made
by a mixture of materials,
including wax, pencil, charcoal,
pins and a tracing wheel.

The inspiration for Emma’s

and the beauty found in
everyday objects. Such as a
bright purple Iris poking its
head through a rusty old gate
or a charming colour palette

Stef Mitchell
India Ritchie
Yorkshire-based Stef creates
original monoprints printed
directly from nature. The ink,
plant and paper have equal say
in the process, and as such any
small change, small growth,
chance and subtle nuance of
difference all play their part.
This exhibition documents a
field corner in the Yorkshire
Wolds.
The ‘Souniemi (The Finnish
House)’ screen print series
is a response to a 1908
summerhouse in Tampere,
Finland. Its interior and
traditional lifestyle of reliance
on natural resources has been
preserved and maintained.
The prints incorporate hand
drawn and photographic
imagery to emulate the
technique of hand tinting
photographs which was
popular in the 1900s.

William Hughes
Justin Leeming
William’s drawings explore
the experience of place.
His current practice
incorporates traditional
methods and materials
such as paper making,
collage, technical semiphoto realistic drawing and
photography. Most recently,
he has created a series of
drawings made directly onto
the back of photographs
thus blurring the boundary
between photography and
representational drawing.
Yorkshire-based Justin is a
figurative painter working
primarily in acrylic or oil
on canvas. Originally
concentrating on portraiture,
he has more recently
diversified his output to
produce large scale canvases
which reference popular
culture. He uses photographic
references to compose his
paintings, reinterpreting them
into something which looks
tangible, but never really
existed.

Allowing the art makers the

re-examination of her A Level
Biology exercise and textbooks

animals but can be seen in
microscopic slides.
James Bywood
Walking for James has
become an integral part of
his work, providing him with
the space to think and the
inspiration to create. He is
currently compiling these
experiences into a series of
artworks that will both inform

created his celebrated guides),
and provide an imaginative
leap for the viewer, perhaps
back to the places they once
trod themselves.

Robert Burden Working in inner cities, mostly
at night, Robert’s artwork

enticing and providing
security and warmth out of

AC Telfer
Alyson creates dynamic textural
paintings which depict moments,
things she has seen and
experienced whilst out and
about. She aims to convey
what the moment was like
both physically and emotionally.
Her interpretations are not
literal, taking liberties with
colour and form.
Michele is inspired by the
stories of everyday life. Using
a mixture of photography,
drawing, old maps and stitch,
each origami piece has its
own individual story which
interacts with the piece as a
whole. A Visitor’s Offering
celebrates the offerings and
her experience of Saltaire and
its history and the colourful
temples of Vietnam and
Cambodia.

Barbara Young
Barbara works with acrylic on
canvas and mono-printing
on paper. Whilst abstract, her
painting focuses on colour
relationships and is usually
informed and inspired by
the landscape. Her monoprinting is an exploration and
interplay between form, line
and colour and is thus more
representational than abstract.

which specifically highlights
the wealth of talent residing
in Saltaire and that of their
invited peers.
From curious commodities to ceramic
heads, oil paintings to monoprints,
photography to limited edition silk
screen prints, it is clear that the
village of Saltaire and the surrounding
landscape inspires and feeds many of
these artists.
All of the resident artists and most of
their guests will be on hand to talk
about their work, so this is a great
opportunity to perhaps discover more
about the artistic life of Saltaire past
and present.

Ruth Fettis
John finds the physical
repetitive nature of cutting
stone one of the most
meditative things that he does;
it calms his mind, encourages
contemplation and frees his
imagination. Through his
carvings, he seeks to establish
a similar connection for the
viewer, to instil a feeling of
calm and solidity.
Ruth tells modern, everyday
narrative stories through a
traditional medium. Using
relief-printing, lino and
wood-block, she has exhibited
widely across the UK and most
recently in nearby Cartwright
Hall, Bradford with ‘Here We
Live’. Her collaborative work
with Michelle Wren has been
selected to feature in the
Amnesty International

Anne’s Ceramic Heads and

Darrell uses recycled metals
in his sculptures to create
semi-abstract shapes and
forms which suggest lines

The concept of fragments in
time is central; the history of
what once was and is no more.

Andrew Olssen
Andrew’s work explores
the idea of belonging to a
generation whose identity
was formed, to a significant
extent, by the media and
‘the collective experience’.
Working primarily in video,
themes such as racism,
political correctness and
heritage are explored in the
role of a particularly irreverent
archivist. He uses repetition
to transform and dislocate the
viewing experience.
Drawing on his career as
an archaeologist, Daniel’s
collected images provide the
materials or pallets with which
he explores and develops
themes associated with the
past, absence and decay. He
explores the rich textures and
patterns evident in every day
natural and artificial objects;
details often unseen or
overlooked at first glance.

Hannah Lamb exhibition ‘Linear Mapping’
Butterfly Rooms Studio
Saturday 10am - 5pm, Sunday-Monday 10am - 4pm
‘Linear Mapping’ is an installation
of ‘threads’ or strands suspended
in space.
Each of the threads is a record of a walk,
a linear map, a record of time and place.
Capturing a series of walks from her
childhood and current home, the ‘threads’
share a palette from the rural landscapes
of the Chilterns and the Aire Valley, handdyed using plants and minerals found in the
environment. Her practice aims to develop
a greater awareness of our relationship with
the environment; understanding our place in
the world through walking and making.
