Many of us came to art practice at different times in our lives. For some it was a part our childhood and continued throughout our lives. For others it has been something that was dreamt of; an unfulfilled dream or desire that came about later in life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1939\" height=\"2560\" data-id=\"967\" src=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/A-Chair-With-No-One-There-is-Like-a-Book-with-No-Name-by-Amanda-Doran-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"A Chair With No-One There is Like a Book with No Name by Amanda Doran\" class=\"wp-image-967\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/A-Chair-With-No-One-There-is-Like-a-Book-with-No-Name-by-Amanda-Doran-scaled.jpeg 1939w, https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/A-Chair-With-No-One-There-is-Like-a-Book-with-No-Name-by-Amanda-Doran-227x300.jpeg 227w, https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/A-Chair-With-No-One-There-is-Like-a-Book-with-No-Name-by-Amanda-Doran-776x1024.jpeg 776w, https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/A-Chair-With-No-One-There-is-Like-a-Book-with-No-Name-by-Amanda-Doran-768x1014.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/A-Chair-With-No-One-There-is-Like-a-Book-with-No-Name-by-Amanda-Doran-1164x1536.jpeg 1164w, https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/A-Chair-With-No-One-There-is-Like-a-Book-with-No-Name-by-Amanda-Doran-1552x2048.jpeg 1552w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1939px) 100vw, 1939px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A Chair With No-One There is Like a Book with No Name by Amanda Doran<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" data-id=\"958\" src=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Ceramics-by-Bob-Ross-rotated.jpeg\" alt=\"Ceramics by Bob Ross\" class=\"wp-image-958\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Ceramics-by-Bob-Ross-rotated.jpeg 480w, https:\/\/blueknobgallery.com\/gallery\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Ceramics-by-Bob-Ross-225x300.jpeg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ceramics by Bob Ross<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>We were young once&#8230;<\/em><\/strong>&nbsp;we thought it would be fun to see images of the artists and people we have come to know personally or through their artwork over the years, and have a glimpse of how, where and when their \u2018creative journey\u2019 might have started. &nbsp;We sometimes forget we were all young once, and had dreams no matter how old we are now. Something else unfolded as the artworks, images and statements came in; it became a heartwarming experience. We laughed and witnessed what it is to remember&#8230;.who we were and who we are now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This exhibition has been a surprise, and a delight and we express our deepest thanks to the artists and artisans who have given something more of themselves for this exhibition. The Opening on Sun 9th was another delight with the trio \u2018When the Moneys Gone\u201d (Peter Walker, Trevor and Denise White), performing songs that took us back to other times when we were all younger.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u201dRelics V <strong>&#8211; Mapping Time and Place\u201d<\/strong> by Renita Glencross<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><br>&#8220;Relics V &#8211; Mapping Time and Place&#8221; by Renita Glencross presents a collection of multi-media fibre-works created from journeys through desert, sea &amp; forest over the last decade.
