Paper Scissors Stone - Taking Paper beyond the page exhibition

Informal meetings over time have developed into something special for five Hertfordshire artists whose work centres around paper. A binding group principle is to ensure high quality visitor experiences, events or exhibitions in response to the space, ethos and values of a host setting. Initially this collaboration led to a highly rated four-artist group exhibition in February 2015, followed by further exhibitions involving the artists that have been touring galleries throughout 2015. Paper Scissors Stone: Taking Paper Beyond the Page, are title and original theme for their imaginative and thought-provoking body of work based around altered books, interpretations of paper, mixed media, language and much more.

Individual galleries and spaces bring their own character, reflection or weight to a collaboration. Thus for The Lewis Gallery (Rugby School, Rugby) the artists have re-created Paper Scissors Stone: Taking Paper Beyond the Page on a larger scale, taking full advantage of the light and feeling of space that epitomises the gallery. With very different yet complementary styles of work, a constant theme for each artist is the re-shaping of paper, narrative and meaning. Books, newspaper, paper and other objects or settings are used in combination to re-interpret both the materials and the world around us. A combination of wall-hung and stand-alone pieces deliver a very satisfying experience at every level from detailed examination of the work to the overall sense of expression.
