12 Visual Arts SALLY BASSETT AND ANDY WHITE 6 - 30 March Sou’-Sou’-West Gallery, Manor Yard, Symondsbury Estate, SYMONDSBURY, Bridport, DT6 6HG. 10.30am - 3.30pm. 01308 301326 / sousouwest.co.uk . Frances Hatch: Sensing Place “This exhibition focuses on Hatch’s process as a plein air painter and the ‘place palettes’ she makes at Dorset coastal locations using found earths, clays, organic matter, and man-made materials like litter. Accompanied by written and painted notes, the palettes become portraits of place that inform her paintings, a small number of which will be on show in the exhibition. Working outside and combining these found materials with water-based media, such as watercolour, acrylic and gouache, Hatch allows the weather – rain, snow, humidity, wind, sun – to participate in the shaping of the work. Infused with the geology of each place, traces of weather, circumstance and happenstance, the palettes and paintings are witness to and a record of time spent with the ever-changing Jurassic coast.” 18 April – 6 June: Bridport Arts Centre, 9 South Street, BRIDPORT, DT6 3NR.
