Visual Art

Monday 8th May – Monday 5th June
Cipher - Chris Webster

“Webster is a printmaker who explores his own subconscious through the technique of collage. His imagery is culled from historical photographs, magazines illustrations and 19th century Victorian prints, which he alters and reworks to create strange, often unsettling pictures of contemporary states of mind” The Baltimore Sun These hauntingly unique images are created using acrylics, oils and oil pastels on photographic paper; the collection is derived from Christopher’s interest in mystery as an undefined process in its own right.
