Emma Woffenden, 'No Horizon'
I am aiming to arouse an emotional response. I am looking at the psychological experience of entering a space.
- Emma Woffenden
Glass artist Emma Woffenden is renowned for creating unnerving objects and installations, which suggest incidents that have just happened or are about to unfold. Her work is eerie yet playful and frequently explores the idea of 'opposites' - celebration and mourning, moving and still, opaque and transparent.

It is this interest that led to the No Horizon project, for which she created a core body of work which would then be re-staged within three very different exhibition spaces, highlighting each venues proportions, architectural features and history.

Memory and Forgetting
A unique exhibition of works of art exploring some of the mysteries of the human memory.
It is the result of an innovative meeting of scientific and artistic minds in which four established British artists Louise K Wilson, were paired with four scientists - each specialising in different branches of memory research, from basic colour recognition through individual memory development to memory loss in later years.
The exhibition includes a new sound installation by Shona Illingworth; video work and printmaking by Ashley McCormick; a series of paintings by Daniel Sturgis and video and printmaking by Louise K Wilson.
Many elements of the exhibition involve audience participation including Louise K Wilson's Timeline, for which visitors are invited to contribute their earliest memory and Ashley McCormick's table of prints Ifs, ands or buts from which visitors can take a print as a memento.
A Hatton Gallery touring exhibition organised in collaboration with Northern Print Studio and PEALS, University of Newcastle.
