ART & ABOUT<br />
In town this month<br />
Liza Mackintosh<br />
Liza Mackintosh is the featured artist<br />
at Chalk Gallery until the 18th of<br />
<strong>March</strong>. She describes her work as ‘an<br />
open-ended journey into the organic<br />
landscape’ - with the journey being more<br />
important than the destination. The<br />
resultant paintings are visual diaries of<br />
her walks through local landscapes, most<br />
recently Red House Common in North<br />
Chailey. Liza, who works in the studio<br />
with pencil, pastel, bark, charcoal and<br />
carbon paper, says, ‘the paintings are like<br />
a secret knowledge, a new perspective of<br />
the landscape, the more I look at them<br />
the more I see’.<br />
Cliff Crawford<br />
As well as the<br />
exhibition by<br />
Cliff Crawford<br />
at Martyrs’ Gallery<br />
from the 3rd<br />
until the 23rd of<br />
<strong>March</strong> (see pg<br />
45) there’s also a new writers’ group at<br />
the gallery on the 2nd and 4th Fridays<br />
of the month (<strong>March</strong> 9th and 23rd).<br />
Writers of fiction or non-fiction can<br />
use the space free of charge for a calm,<br />
quiet, untutored drop-in session inspired<br />
by the current exhibition.<br />
We learn as we go to press that from<br />
<strong>March</strong> 1st Sarah O’Kane (formerly of<br />
St Anne’s Galleries, and HQ Gallery)<br />
will be showing her circle of artists’<br />
work from Fisher Street Frames.<br />
She’ll be arranging solo exhibitions in a<br />
variety of spaces from spring onwards.<br />
If you are quick, there is a last chance to<br />
check out the Open Art Exhibition at Pelham<br />
House which ends on the 6th of <strong>March</strong>.<br />
The annual exhibition showcases the work<br />
of more than 60 established and emerging<br />
Sussex-based artists.<br />
