Both artists have are introverted and intuitive approach to making; acting on raw, observed feeling. The juxtaposition of detail in Pittman's pieces and the subtle minimalism in Jones's work creates a harmonious exchange about what happens at the moment that conscious contemplation breaks down.
The exhibition will run April 14 - May 28, 2017.
