Chance

Our first exhibition of the year will be, like last year at the Waterfront Art Gallery in Southport, Merseyside. We can't quite believe how fast the last year has gone and that it has now been over a year since we first exhibited at this versatile contemporary art gallery.

The exhibition that will be the seventh exhibition that we have been part of, opens Sunday 10th of February. This exhibition titled 'Chance' is themed around and in conjunction with the new casino opening on the Waterfront complex next to the Marina.

Here are a few of our completed pieces of work due to go n display next week 

If music be the food of love, play on

'Harmonography'

Twisted Pages finished piece of work 'if music be the food of love, play on' for the Waterfront Arts Project in Southport. The current exhibition that opens Sunday 2nd December 2012 is titled 'Harmonography' and showcases works by many artists around the theme of sound. The exhibition includes paintings, sculpture, photography and installations, the gallery is open Tuesday through Sunday 12-4 and is situated by the Marina lake next to the Remada hotel, the promenade. Southport, Merseyside. 

  

Twisted Pages piece is a combination between handmade paper, figurative sculptures and functional objects with a 'twist'. With a simple yet elegant feel and a sharp red, White and black colour scheme. Based around the line from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night 'If music be the food of love, play on' we have crested a tea party themed scene focusing on music, food and love. Our intentions to include everyday objects within our work has seemed to work well. As always with our work we aimed for this piece simply to be enjoyed by the viewer.

If Music be the food of love play on

Turnpike open exhibition 2012 Twisted Pages

Twisted Pages have had yet another busy month......Already!!

The turnpike gallery is our local inspiration centre, based in Leigh town center above the library, it's an amazing establishment for artists, education, community events and everything in-between. This year twisted Pages will be entering a brand new handmade paper creation especially designed for the annual open exhibition. 

'Unfolding Growth' is a dramatic scene of hundreds of handmade paper flowers encasing a distressed abandoned table, depicting how in nature something so delicate can also be so powerful. An unstoppable growth unfolding before our eyes.

Turnpike Open Exhibition runs from 22nd September untill 27th October, free entry.

Wayfarers Arcade Fridges

Short video of shoppers having a look at the fridges on display, they are proving to be quite popular as well! Twisted Pages have one fridge on display in the Wayfarers Arcade, Southport, Merseyside at present and will have two of them in Southport Flower Show. With our iconic modern take on quilling and our hand made paper flowers we are hoping our fans wont miss it. Hopefully we will gain a few more fans along the way!

Fridge #1

Twisted Pages new piece is ready and off on its way. Once again we have adapted our paper manipulation skills to a new environment, a mini bar fridge! On 16th of August the gates to Southport Flower Show 2012 will be opened allowing the thousands of visitors to interact with local art in the 'Fridge trails' 

Being inspired by the show we decided we would do a bit of gardening the Twisted Pages way and created 'The Secret Summer Garden'. A wonderfully special, wild garden complete with wildlife also handmade from paper.

The Dress

Twisted Pages are excited to announce our fourth exhibition at the Waterfront Gallery will be open from Sunday 15th of July. The piece is influenced by Summer, the road maps for traveling and holidays and the flowers for bloom. The dress itself has a very 'summery' style to the design with the open back and loose skirt. 

We continue to push the boundaries of paper manipulation within our work. In this piece we treated the paper as fabric and used new techniques, particularly paper folding and added  an origami touch also. 

It has long been our intention to create a paper dress and from the feedback we have already received we have a feeling this wont be our last!

Summer Open Exhibition Work

Twisted Pages next exhibition piece will go on display amongst other artists at Southport Waterfront Arts Project in Merseyside on Sunday 15th July 2012 2-5pm. As the theme of this exhibition is 'open' Twisted Pages has taken this chance to experiment with our work and go down a completely new creative channel. 

We have again worked with paper but instead of our usual quilling technique that we have used within our previous work, we wanted to try our hands at a little origami! We decided that we would create a piece that was fun and used the mini theme of 'summer' loosely  bringing together the ideas of summer flowers and travel and combining them with crisp bright colour.

Here is a little preview of our work so far, we would love to hear your feedback!. Also don't forget to drop into the Waterfront Gallery, in Southport, Merseyside PR9 0DZ open daily 12 - 4 this exhibition promises to be a must see!

Twisted Pages New Work

After recently completing and displaying our Journey Through Depression' Installation at the Waterfront Art Gallery in Southport twisted pages has begun work on our next chapter. With the theme of the next exhibition at the Waterfront being 'open' we have taken the opportunity to experiment a little with our work and take a different approach to our usual style. This theme has also given us the chance to work on some other projects.

Here are some sample of the experimental stages that we are working on at the present. 

Imagine If Exhibition Opening

The opening of the Waterfront Art Projects latest exhibition in Southport, Merseyside went really well. The first public view was on Saturday the 26th of May and what a lovely sunny day it was. The great hot British sunshine brought then crowds to the good old sunny, seaside town of Southport. Which meant plenty of new visitors for the Waterfront Gallery and the new exhibition 'Imagine If'. 

This exhibition takes a sensitive look at living with life limiting conditions. Here are a few images of the opening event.

Imagine If.......

Here are some sample pieces of the making stages of Twisted Pages next installation piece for the Waterfront Gallery in Southport, Merseyside. This decorative and sculptural piece will visually convey a variety of emotions and feelings including shame, loneliness, confidence and freedom. 


We are using our Twisted Pages quilling technique to depict this emotional roller-coaster of a journey through the medium of paper and creating a visual illustration of depression, using colour and shape to describe the feelings that a person struggling with depression may experience.

Update

Twisted Pages have been busy quilling away for our next exhibition 'Imagine If'. A delicate theme which explores two sides to depression and the many emotions both positive and negative that sufferers must battle with each and every day. 

The exhibition will open on the 19th May at the Waterfront Arts Project, The Promenade, Southport (Next to the Ramada hotel)

Awoken From a Dream

Twisted Pages has been very busy lately, as you may be able to tell from the lack of blogging recently! We have been rolling our fingers off to finish the 'Conflict' exhibition piece for the Waterfront Gallery in Southport, Merseyside. The large scale installation piece to illustrate the poem 'Awoken From A Dream' was finished and put up in the gallery, with help from a few people, who we would like to thank. 

Our mixed media piece will be on display amongst other artists work. This exhibition will showcase sculpture, paintings, installations and photography and will open for the first viewing on Saturday the 31st of March 2012, 2pm to 5pm. At the Waterfront Gallery next to the Remada Hotel, The Promenade, Southport. All welcome, this exhibition is free. 

Here are a few images of the setting up process for the installation, there will be more to follow after the opening of the exhibition on Saturday.
