This collection by University of Derby graduate artist Caroline Lowe has been developed since her artist residency at the University of Derby and her previous solo exhibition at Banks Mill entitled ‘Fragments’.
This exhibition examines the boundaries between photography and painted or manipulated surfaces and our ability to interpret and make judgements on what we see. It also questions what we don’t know, can’t see and therefore don’t understand.

This solo exhibition by textile artist Jo Beattie is a reflection on memories and is created by machine stitching on see-through fabrics.
Jo said: “My work is a reflection on memories of people we love and how we associate them with what they wear. Their patterns and colours are embedded into our memory and become inseparable from our image of them. Our patterns and colours determine not only our character and how we want to be perceived by others but also define us in a time, place and culture.”
