This exhibition considers the small moments of intrigue and beauty tucked into everyday life. The way a stained-glass window throws morning light across the wall like a painting. The fine fracturing of peeling paint as it decays. It is about the joy in noticing materials and moments that might otherwise be missed.
Em Frank and Miles Dunne's work often begins with salvaged and broken things. Materials that arrive with their own stories, histories and imperfections, which gently steer the making process. They are interested in what happens when objects move beyond their original roles, and how they can be transformed without erasing where they have been.
Coming from different creative disciplines, their collaborative process is intuitive, experimental and responsive. It allows them to test approaches they could not achieve alone. For these works, they have soldered metal to ceramic, melted glass into clay, and adapted lead-lighting methods in unusual ways. An exploration of how materials can shift, stretch and settle into new possibilities.
