The Firestation

Gordon Robin Brown and Katherine F Jones create dark and beautiful work infused with mystery.

Gordon is interested in the awkward relationship between us and the natural world. This fascination surfaces in his playful paintings depicting scenes of a surreal nature with various otherworldly characters of bird box men, strange animals in the forest and the odd appearance of Darwin.

Katherine works with traditional forms of printmaking in conjunction with drawing and watercolour. Her work follows today's sensitivity towards issues of protection and security using a recurring house shape, subverted structurally and contextually to simultaneously imply nurture, protection and suffocation. Her interest in the disparity between different versions of ancient stories, where repetition and imperfect reproduction has confused the original message also plays a primary role in the work’s conception.
