Landscapes and Stories
Susanne Kelly and Michael Dailey
Michael Dailey and Susanne Kelly, father and daughter, are painters who are also stimulated by the more graphic media of prints and drawings. This exhibition showcases their lesser known work: Kelly's prints and Dailey's drawings; witty narratives and insightful landscapes.
Susanne Kelly creates large scale woodcuts pulling imagery from an imaginary world where beavers are bossy, cats wear Mary Jane's and a certain Princess Pink Petal reigns supreme. Kelly's narrative, in contrast to the work of her father, is highly subjective with a strong concern for formal relationships.
By suggesting rather than defining, Michael Dailey leaves much for the viewer to imagine. The work requires the viewer to complete the experience with the memories, stories and perceptions he or she brings to the piece, rather than offering them directly.
A grand stage has been set for a performance to commence.

Maylee Noah: Souvenir
In French the word souvenir is a verb meaning to recall or to remember. In English it is a noun for a token of remembrance, a memento. On one level Maylee Noah's photographs from
around Paris are just that: objects to jog her memory of trips abroad. But they are also images of the embrace of memory; places and things preserved to recall times past.
