Eype Layer exhibition is set to be very a-peeling

Artists will peel back the layers of their creativity at an exhibition in Eype in May.

The Layer upon Layer exhibition will run from May 2 to 14 at the Eype Centre for the Arts at St Peter’s Church.

Among the exhibits will be the work of artist Jenny Penney, who uses coloured mountboards to produce sculpted, semi-abstract landscapes of Dorset landscapes.

Portland based artist and teacher Lyn Kirkland will also exhibit fine art pieces sculpted in encaustic wax while Sue Jenkins has created textile pieces using Ecoprint, a process involving natural leaf pigments from locally gathered leaves layered on fabric.

A spokesperson for the exhibit said: “Layering is often used to describe something that is complicated and interesting because it has many different features.

“In terms of artwork, this layering approach can include using different media in layers, adopting a different process between layers, or simply building in an element of 3D perspective. The artists exhibiting at Eype Centre for the Arts each adopts an element of layering in their chosen media and the results are quite stunning.” During the exhibition there will be demonstrations from one of the artists each day. Please check social media for details of who is demonstrating on which day.
