All Seeing Eye by Katherine Howes
Stryx JQ Gallery
Private view Friday 19th April 4pm - 9pm
9am - 3pm Monday to Saturday
Our next Window Residency artist is Katherine Howes. Howes will be exhibiting a fine art video installation for the window residency entitled: ‘All Seeing Eye’.
The ‘All seeing eye’ is a symbol which has feature throughout history in many different cultures and societies. It has often been used in North America and Russia symbolically on money or seals associated with power. It represents the omnipresence of God, watching the action of humanity and serves as a reminder ‘we are being watched’.
As the shop looks back at us; flipping the usual Gaze of consumers viewing products, we become the product of our society, raising questions about our relationship with money, where we spend it and what we buy.

Stryx 3A: All Seeing Eye Jewellery Workshop with Katherine Howes
Stryx JQ Gallery
11am - 1pm
Join us at Stryx café to create your own All Seeing Eye jewellery.
We will develop small scale drawings and paintings from our own eye, or the eye of a significant Other, inspired by 18th and 19th Century miniatures and the History of eye symbolism.
We will then cast our studies for all eternity in resin! The final product will be a pendant/talisman that you can take home to watch over you, or gift to an Other; so you will always be watching!
Please come prepared with a large, detailed image to work from, if you are working from the eye of an Other.
Places are free, but booking is essential. Tickets available here: All Seeing Eye Workshop. This workshop is designed with people aged 50+ in mind, but adults of any age are welcome.

Heads in a Landcape by Stephen Court & Karlin Rushbrooke
Stryx JQ Gallery
9am - 3pm daily
The heads are made by Karlyn Rushbrooke and the landscapes by Stephen Court.
These works are produced by two old friends who met 1973 but this will be the first time that their work has been publicly shown together.
Stephen died in 2020 but his work lives on. Karlyn continues to work at his studio in Herefordshire.
Stephen studied at Birmingham College of Art and Karlyn at Stourbridge College of Art so this central venue is a return to old stomping grounds.
The subject matter and use of materials chosen by these two experienced artists are very different but the combination will make for a very interesting exhibition.
