NORMAN EAMES and his new solo exhibition of wood and resin pictures – 30 March – 15 May

‘My work has developed through many forms since my early experiments some ten years ago. From my first efforts, namely coasters and candle holders, I have progressed and now produce a range of pieces in the form of pictures, sculptures and jewellery utilising the mediums of wood and resin. My work tends to be mainly abstract in form, although I do also produce pictures in a ‘marquetry’ style, which might be pictorial or semi-abstract. All my work is original and hand made and, I believe, unique.’
