We are delighted to be able to show some of Anna Whitehouse’s truly beautiful and enchanting work in the Gallery throughout October.

Please come and join us and Anna for the launch of her exhibition on Sunday 4th October from 1:30pm to 4:30pm. Our launch events are sponsored by our business partner Terra Sarda Wines - Sardinia in a Glass.

Based in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, Anna is a highly respected local artist who utilises scientific imagery and research to inform her sculptural work.

Bottle forms and an experimental approach to textures have been recurring themes over the last decade. She enjoys the symbolism of the bottle - a form that can hold something precious, valuable, secret, a poison, or a cure. By playfully combining this with structures and textures studied in macro and microscopic imagery, she invites us into a surreal world of hidden landscapes and mutated flora and fauna.

Ultimately, she strives to create curious objects that spark a childlike sense of wonder and appreciation of the natural world, whilst questioning our place within it.

Anna holds a first-class BA Hons in Three-Dimensional Design from Manchester School of Art. Alongside her studio practice, she works to commission, on public art projects and teaches ceramics to all ages.
