Fruiting Bodies
Housed in the beautiful space of the Old Parcels Office Artspace in Scarborough, Fruiting Bodies featured over two dozen artworks by Changeable Beast artists and six invited guests. Exploring the intersection of nature, transformation and organic forms, the title Fruiting Bodies gave rise to ideas around growth, processes of transformation and the fragile nature of existence. Invited guest Elspeth Billie Penfold presented ‘Enchanted Charms’, a walking and poetry performance. An artists discussion was led by Diana Wolzak.
Participating artists: Karen Byrne, Seona Myerscough, Matt Foster, Clare Jarrett, Kay Senior, Susan Young, Aileen Kelly, Ornela Novello, Chuting Lee, Jennifer Moore, Tania Salha, Vivien Delta, Carolyn Whittaker, Diana Wolzak, Tessa Garland, Tina Culverhouse, Ellie Reid.
