Jessica Snow’s current work explores a technique she calls Ionian pointillism, which achieves a fluid effect through applying small dots to a wet canvas. Each morning
she dips her canvas into the sea and works on the beach, allowing the paint to dissolve and swirl in unexpected ways. With each painting, an Ancient Greek goddess
inspires the work — Ios, Demeter, Nyx, and Artemis.

Kate Temple works in the area of installation, painting and drawing and initiates dialogue with the seemingly silent world of nature. The ancient site of Dodona was known for its divinatory practice of listening to the rustling of trees, the sounds and flights of birds and the murmuring of water to determine the correct actions to be taken by people. In the film “Once Upon A Time” she performs one of her drawing practices- a conversation with a tree, sunlight and the wind. In Kephalonia, she is using the same process to create drawings with four trees that figure strongly in the Kefalonian landscape and culture: the oak, the olive, the pomegranate and the lemon.
Black clay objects evoke amulets and devotional objects were placed on trees In Kephalonia for the month to amplify attention and conversation and have been re-assembled in the gallery for viewing.
The work presented is the result of a deep immersion into the quality of Kephalonia and is offered as a reflection and exchange.
