ive Fine Art Degree graduates are displaying their work at Worthing Museum and Art Gallery. The exhibition started on the 25th February and is scheduled to run until the 6th May. Since leaving Northbrook, Patricia Stefanski, Sally Williams, Hazel Mortley, Angela Boor and Claire Phillips have had their work exhibited in galleries around the South East, London and abroad. Although each of the artists have differing styles, aspirations and inspirations, all their work tends to be of a figurative nature. Admission is free and the exhibition is open from Tuesday to Saturday between 10am and 5pm.

orthbrook tutor Teresa Martin has created a sculpture for the slipway of the new Ropetackle Housing and Community Arts Development in Shoreham by Sea. Teresa was commissioned by the Arts Council. She has created a sculpture that echoes the local natural processes of erosion, silting, tidal washing and the recent archaeological excavation of the Ropetackle site. The overall shape of the 7ft x 4ft sculpture is meant to reflect a droplet cast from a racing marker buoy.

ine Art Degree tutors Teresa Whitfield and David Blackaller have been exhibiting their work at the Star Gallery in Lewes over the last month and will be moving the show to Trinity Theatre in Tunbridge Wells from 9th March. Although the exhibition is not a deliberate collaboration, the two person show represents a coherent body of work that is linked both aesthetically and ideologically. Teresa's work is an examination through drawing of lace making needlework and is the outcome of research into the lace collection at the Victoria and Albert Museum as well as her own collection of lace. David Blackaller's work consists of wall mounted sculptures that respond to the vast, wind swept beaches and fields of the Isles of Scilly and the Western Isles, where he recently completed a period of research.
