Opening Fri 28 August, 6-9pm

Between and Beyond explores links between the body, architecture and the object. It considers the body as the landscape where the architecturally inspired work is sited and connects to its surrounds. Justine Austen and Andrew Weatherill create artwork that explores the relationship between man-made forms and environment. Austen is a contemporary jeweller and Weatherill has trained in fine art printmaking. Their artworks attempt to push the boundaries of these traditional art practices through the building of interactive installations and virtual environments.
