Intersections
Sunday 6th July to Sunday 27th July
A group of local artists, Adriaan Van Heerden and Helena and Neal Vaughan, will be exhibiting a collection of multimedia artwork based on the following poem:

you
me
this road
this place
a hundred thousand options
ten thousand decisions
a healthy dose of fate
I'm waiting
don't be late
Adriaan Van Heerden, 26th January 2008

The exhibition's themes will be reflect the words of this poem and the ideas of travel or journeys. This will be their first exhibition as a group, and Adriaan Van Heerden's first ever!
For Helena Vaughan, the exhibition will be about a journey to the exhibition site, Honeywood Museum. Helena's medium is collage. Drawing is her first passion though, and wherever possible she likes to combine it with other mediums. Recently Helena started a new career as an art teacher after being inspired by an article in the Sutton Scene magazine. Her school work mirrors her artwork and her ideas can come from anywhere that offers inspiration.
Adriaan Van Heerden is originally from South Africa and graduated with a PhD in Philosophy from King's College, Cambridge in 2002. Since then he has been living and working in London. Adriaan is interested in expressing himself in both poetry and photography and is fascinated by the intersections of the two forms. 'A picture may be worth a few words, but a few simple lines of poetry cane sometime conjure a myriad of images in the mind'. In his photography he looks for an angle that will bring a poetic quality to the composition: a frame that is able to capture something of the brutal beauty of existence.
Neal Vaughan is a landscape artist with a BW (hons) degree in Fine Art. After college he gave up the profession he loved to follow a career in television production. Now, more than 15 years later, he is married to helena and has also picked up the brush again. Essentially he concentrates on landscapes, his enjoyment coming from colour, mark making and technique. Recently painting all his work in oils on canvas, Neal enjoys the challenge of producing the work as much as the finished painting itself.
