Molly Thomson Realignment
Frances Priest Chevron | Stripe | Asanoha
3 - 28 June

Realignment is the debut solo exhibition of Scottish artist Molly Thomson’s painting-objects. Norfolk-based Thomson’s work concerns the performance of the painting as an object, generally using the conventional painting panel as a springboard for action and a vehicle for thought. She is interested in conditions that confine, resist and limit, and in what happens when those conditions are subject to question and boundaries are breached.

The Chevron | Stripe | Asanoha Collection collages together Frances Priest’s favourite motifs drawn from varied sources, heraldry, modernism and Japanese pattern design. Priest enjoys this process of sampling and collage, giving a new twist to familiar motifs and creating unexpected relationships. She especially enjoyed playing with the surface finish, placing matt vitreous slip next to glossy glaze, to create a glint and sparkle as the works catch the light.
