My beautiful Armenia – Hayastan – Leigh Anderton-Hall
December 2023
In the vibrant tapestry of Hayastan, Graham and I immersed ourselves in a two-week exploration during September 2023, centered around the Yerevan Print Biennale in Armenia’s capital city, Yerevan.
My ceramic sculptures, born from this immersive experience, are a testament to the shapes and patterns imprinted on my consciousness by the temples, churches, subways, manholes, and gates of Yerevan. The clay becomes a canvas for exploring the intersection of people, war, and land – themes that, although geographically distant, are intimately connected to the heart of Armenia.
Language – Ivan Vostinar

Ceramic sculpture based on the human form.
Shutterbug – John Girdlestone

WAR – What is it Good For? – Anthony Davies
November 2023
More than a year on, and words and statistics start to feel meaningless in the attempt to quantify the impact of this war.
When hundreds of thousands have died, when millions of lives have been torpedoed off course, what difference does an updated figure of loss from the United Nations make?
This war has already redefined generations to come, not just in Ukraine, but across the world…
