GILLIAN PLUMMER:
NATURAL HISTORY
PHOTOGRAPHY

Gillian specialises in macro and
close-up plant photography,
which is her passion. What
makes her work special is her
trained eye for effective colour
combinations and her ability
to see things from a different
perspective. The images in
the exhibition explore complexity, flamboyance, subtlety and mystique, and set out to evoke intrigue and wonder.

Gillian Plummer’s work has been exhibited around the country at venues including The Medici Gallery Mayfair, Kew Gardens, RHS Wisley, Bury St Edmunds Art Gallery and the National Trust’s Sutton Hoo site. She is a member of the Garden Media Guild and the Garden Photographers’ Association.

Her work is used commercially by high street businesses such as Marks & Spencer, Paperchase and Merrill Lynch, national and international newspapers, magazines and book publishers, designers and advertisers. Her illustrated feature articles are
published here in the UK and in the Middle East.

BEDALES ART, DESIGN &
TEXTILES 08

After last year’s taster of work from the Bedales Assessed Course, the first cohort has now been examined after two years of study and practical work and this is an opportunity to celebrate their achievements. The higher profile of sculpture, ceramics and other 3-D work reflects increased staffing in the department.
Twenty-five art students in the first year sixth get a first opportunity to show their work in public at this level and seventeen students in the upper sixth each make their farewell to the school with a small, personal exhibition. A good number of these latter students have secured places at
leading art colleges.

The Design Department continues
to work in a multi-disciplinary
environment, with students tackling examined work in textiles, furniture and product design, and elements of computer control and electronics. The department will show ‘A’ level Product Design and work by Bedales Assessed Course students in younger years. This work represents a real breadth of material choice and innovation. Many students have produced creative work focussed on a style or user need but there is also an increasing environmental
awareness and concern for
sustainability.
