'Raw Sky' - The Floor One Gallery
Clint Hamilton and Mark Tweedie
The exhibition work depicts the wonder of the night sky using mixed media, cyanotypes, poetry, photography, sketching and photogravure etchings.
Hamilton's work focuses on time, space and connection and includes examples of experimenting with the elements of drawing and camera-less photography techniques.
Tweedie's work straddles the gulf between art and science with high-resolution photographs, lunar sketches and poetry. He is also showing photogravures of deep sky objects beyond our solar system.

Saturday 30th August at 2pm: a talk by Mark Tweedie about his work.
