Desire Breeds Creation brings together work from a group of artists using the media of stone, textile, paint and iron to explore the nether regions of creation.
The ‘Stokes Croft Herbarium’ exhibition mingles together plant specimens with works of art that draw their influence from the plant kingdom -creating the impression of a botanical garden/art gallery hybrid.
Featuring artwork by:
Andy Council
Chris 'Cavetroll' Drury
Evie Wonder
Nicky Cornwell
Tim Floyd
Living and preserved plants will be displayed alongside sculpture, installation, two dimensional pieces and images drawn directly onto the venues walls. There will also be information about local community allotments and gardening projects and a small 'library' of books to browse through.
Events scheduled to coincide with the exhibition include a day of live doodling on one of the venue's walls, an urban wild food walk around the Stokes Croft area, foraged food preparation and a screening of the four 'Global Gardener' Permaculture documentaries presented by Bill Mollison.
