Discarded 2 Private View

Our private view was on Friday 3rd June 2016 at the Frame Workshop Gallery, Ipswich. We're really grateful to those who turned out and made it such a great evening. The exhibition continues until Saturday 25th June 2016 - check the website for opening times.

(Not so) Boring Postcards

Over the past few years members of Freelance have been altering individual pages within a book of "boring postcards" by Martin Parr. The book will be on show at our exhibition at the Frame Workshop Gallery in Ipswich in June 2016.

Exhibition at The Frame Workshop Gallery, Ipswich

Transformative Discards

Steve has been working on "Transformative Discards" which he says: "I am thinking about or questioning beauty as being about appearance rather than material or perhaps in spite of material, and so transforming the material while also subverting ornateness because of the material."

Meanwhile Steve is teaching his Creative Sketchbooking course at Ipswich Institute: www.facebook.com/creativesketchbooking, and he has work on show at The Sentinel Gallery in Wivenhoe (http://www.thesentinelgallery.co.uk/). On his own website there are New Printmaking and Teaching page updates: http://www.stevejoyce.co/

More Altered books

Andrew has been working on other altered books. On the theme of photography and how old photos, that were created near the birth of photography, show people and places long past that somehow and mysteriously seem real to us now.






The next follows a similar exploration of the power of old photographs to evoke the past, adding maps from a modern road atlas, showing how the countryside has been traversed by roads.

Wall Hanging

Amanda is working on a wall hanging, as she explains: "I've been stitching a wall hanging out of waste paper. It's growing organically! There's a lot of green in it, it's basically about the idea of things coming full circle. At present it consists of separate elements."
