The Clearing explores notions of internal and external space, with images ranging from the serene to the strangely disturbing. Joe Biel draws unnervingly detailed drawings, melding real-life scenarios with imaginative fantasies, while Rebecca Stevenson's semi-dissected anatomical sculpture erupts with vibrant pastel floral elements. Decay and sensuality coexist in this selection of work, not least in Stephanie Quayle's reappropriation of household furniture into gruesome collages of sculpted detritus. Alex Ball's solitary human figures — enshrouded or obscured with organic matter — further heighten the existential mood.
