Estyn Hulbert - I'm inspired by growing things, geometric shapes, typography, cultural symbols, lace, fragments of shells found on the beach. Following the thread of an idea leads me from one design to the next, frequently in an unanticipated direction, always learning from the making itself.

Sarah Hewitt is all about the making. She explores expressive qualities of high-art basketry within the broad context of contemporary aesthetics. This is high craft married to an uncanny ability to evoke emotion through abstraction, recalling both Eva Hesse and Louise Bourgeois. More than a touch of the primitivist/universal haunts her project. Despite being rigorously abstract, her pieces always seem mysteriously endowed with the kind of arresting emotive presence traditionally found in figurative form.
