Artists: Sally Bourke, Helen Dunkerley, Annemarie Murland, Linda Swinfield, Lezlie Tilley, and Patricia Wilson-Adams.
Background:
In August/September 2006 a group of women abstract artists was invited to participate in an exhibition titled Pandora’s Box at the Newcastle Art Space. The exhibition was extremely well received and following this the group has gone on to gain critical acclaim and become recognised as a group dedicated to a very professional level of practice. The group has had several well received exhibitions over the past few years and has gained a NAVA Marketing grant to further the prospects of the group.
The Pandora Group of artists is well aware of the exigencies of working outside the normal bounds of a popularist art practice. In many respects each artist here works somewhat against the grain - what might be termed as being on the periphery or working to explore an “outside territory”.
