In this collection of etchings Linda has explored a wide range of ideas including different aspects of landscape, still life, flamingos in captivity and football as a man’s game. She works also with contrasts to create social comment. For example, the brightly lit clothes shop windows with their haughty, disdainful models and the homeless woman seated outside. Or the blue, temporary tented homes set up in front of a block of flats where people live in heated accommodation with televisions and fridges and appliances.
Linda Nevill has also collaborated with Emma Purshouse and Jane Seabourne over many years creating art inspired by poetry and poetry inspired by art. Meet Linda during her ground floor exhibition on Saturday 16th March. There will also be a live poetry performance from 2pm-2.30pm featuring Emma and Jane.
Emma Purshouse and Steve Pottinger are guests at this regular events.
What happens when three poets who enjoy having a pint together decide to put on a show?
Join Dave, Emma, and Steve as they meet in a pub somewhere a lot like Wolverhampton and plot their path to fame and fortune. Will they be distracted by beer and scratchings? Will they put the world to rights? Come and find out.
An evening of poetry like you’ve never seen before. May contain language.

“Excellently framed, excellently delivered. The right amount of peaks, troughs, and misty-eyed bits.” Matt Panesh, Artistic Director, Edinburgh Free Fringe.
“Chaucer with scratchcards.” Jimmy Andrex, poet.
“If that doesn’t win a Saboteur award I don’t know what will.” Joe Williams. Half Moon poet.
