Between Work and Play – Globe Gallery

Between Work and Play is an exhibition that explores the tension between seemingly opposing states.

Bringing together Graham Patterson, Helen Pailing and Helen Maurer in a lively exchange of light, shadow and transformed everyday materials, speak to creatures, the coastline and childhood memories. Driftwood, pins, glass and cast objects shape shift before your eyes, referencing the coastline’s dual relationship with industry and leisure.

The artists share an experimental approach to making and retain a sense of playfulness often lost in adulthood. The works invite touch, spark curiosity and reveal new worlds in the simplest things, reminding us that reinvention is both playful yet urgent.
