Curated by Kay Norton-Knight for the Rosby Gallery, this exhibition showcases original bodies of work by Jayne Blake and Michael Baird—two artists whose practices explore form, movement, and unexpected harmony.
Jayne Blake’s mixed media works bring together bold colours, layered textures, shapes, and patterns to create vibrant, cohesive compositions. Each element within her pieces tells its own story, contributing to a larger narrative of playful, visual balance. In contrast, Michael Baird’s sculptural reliefs and freestanding works transform the rigidity of metal into forms that feel light, whimsical, and free—often appearing to drift across the wall or dance in space.
Together, Blake and Baird present a striking conversation between materials and methods, celebrating contrast, transformation, and the unexpected beauty found in the meeting of opposites.
