LOCAL YOKEL

Local Yokel, brings together artists and artists’ work that emanates from the local, ordinary and everyday and in its presence and execution offers work that has universal meaning and creates far reaching resonances. 

The works are made using a huge range of practice and approaches, video, painting, casting in sand, plaster and bronze, assemblage, performance, ceramics, sculpting and weaving. 

Local Yokel – the exhibition is located at The Art Station buildings on the high street 24 High St (The Old Bank) and 48 High St (The Telephone Exchange) and in The Art Station riverside garden – behind 24 High St.
