Representing Abstraction, Ebor Studio An exhibition of drawings by Karen Lyons and Tim Dunbar Saturday August 30th continuing to Sunday September 28th Within the multiple contents of each of the artists’ individual work there is a common thread which opens a dialogue about the role of representation and its relationship with abstract form within the realm of drawing; its processes and materiality.

Stress by guest Photographer Bob France A photographic portrait project Bob will be looking for people to take part in his photographic portrait project during the Ebor open studios. He will be examining just how much of a persons true personality can be shown in a portrait by employing (mild!) methods to add a certain tension to the images, and how they may reveal more of an individuals nature than a conventional sitting. He hopes they will be seen as a fun challenge by any willing participants! He will exhibit the final portraits at Ebor once completed. Bob is locally based designer and photographer whos photographic work looks to isolate extraordinary moments within the everyday ordinary. His work has been exhibited in England, Spain and Chile. Further works and information can be found on bobfrance FRESH FROM THE STUDIO 28 Church Street Littleborough OL15 9AA freshfromthestudio@gmail Fresh from the Studio is a brand new venture in the heart of Littleborough established by well-known local painter Elizabeth White as a gallery showing new work by artists and craft makers.
