Celia Read's Curatorial Choice


It has been a privilege to be part of the L.O.V.E. Art exhibition and curatorial team. My choices are as follows, they are in no particular order…



Lightfall by David Wilson Clarke

Photograms are highly unpredictable, but the artist has managed to channel the light through the glass rods to create an organised linear pattern. This has taken a substantial amount of time and patience.


Everything is going to be ok by Robin Hardman

A small-scale photograph with a huge impact, the narrative of ordinary people enjoying an ice cream in the sunshine. Transforming the ordinary with saturated colours, creating an iconic effect.


Testimonies from Nature by Beth Elford

Reminds me of Kenny Pittock's ‘ Fifty-two found shopping lists written by people who ‘need milk'. The ceramic is inscribed with notions and thoughts, transforming the written into so much more.


Tumbling Man by Marian Lovelock

The creation of movement is dramatic, and the photographs are painstakingly overlayed. The splash of red enhances the sense of movement within the piece


Low Lands by Sue Foreman

The artist has created a sense of scale energy and movement within a quite abstract landscape. Love the use of lines to create a sense of movement within the piece.
