Natural Connection showcases the work of two artists who celebrate their love of natural landscapes and the micro complexities of organic life. The viewer is invited to explore the intricacies within their creative interpretations.

Jenna’s work is an exploration of soft textiles using felt as a foundation for embellishments with embroidery and beading. Her work stems from examining textures such as lichen, fungi and playing with what they might look like under a microscope.

Ciara works primarily with resin to create abstract landscapes. Each piece is an exploration of a natural environment, from muscles and barnacles growing in the harbor to a snapshot of waves crashing into cliff faces. Her work focuses on building up colour and texture studies through layering and playing with depth.
