'Selkies' - a solo exhibition by Jude Lane
A life-long fascination with mermaids,
coupled with extensive personal heritage research,
has initiated the evolution of this current body of work
by local artist Jude Lane.
Jude Lane says her work is prompted by
her deep personal value for family
and investigation into her Scottish ancestral heritage.
Whilst researching the Shaw Clan, of whom she belongs,
her attention was drawn to Celtic warriors
and the beautiful Selkies of the sea.
An affinity with the water and sea creatures
has cultivated a love for these mysteries and legends,
captivating her imagination since childhood.
Her exhibition runs from 18 Feb - 3 March 2015
at the Serpentine Community Gallery Inc.
Together with Scott Whittingham's exhibition
the open celebration night is on 20/02 at 6PM.
Come and see these beautiful and inspired works.
