Elizabeth Adeline & Pip Woolf
A Drop of Water
27 Feb – April 10, 2010 at Theatr Mwldan
Pip and Elizabeth have a shared fascination with water. They have been working together and along side each other since 1991, developing their ideas along the theme of nature and living more sensitively in the environment. This joint exhibition shows the outcome of their explorations, asking such questions as ‘How do we show water, its force, movement, qualities, stories, value without using water?’
Pip’s fulfilling a dream to install a hydroelectric scheme in her home and work place in the Dyffryn, has resulted in her drawing with water itself. Elizabeth finds a simple strength in re-telling every day experiences, such as her childhood memories in Ireland of fetching drinking water in a pail, from a spring, in a wood.
The exhibition includes sculptural installations, film and works on paper from Elizabeth Adeline whilst Pip Woolf displays 2D works on paper and handmade artist’s books.
Theatr Mwldan warmly invite you to attend the opening reception on Friday 26th February at 6.30pm.

16th January - February 20th 2010
Painter, art historian and activist, Ivor Davies – Vice President of the Royal Cambrian Academy – is one of Wales’ most celebrated artists. He has had over 60 one man shows, exhibiting internationally, including Blast to Freeze: Bristish Artists of the Twentieth Century (France and Germany). In 1966 he helped to organize the Destruction in Art Symposium in London and he was an early member of the activist art movement BECA the 1980s. In 2004 his work was included in Art In The 1960s at the Tate Britain. Much of his work is stimulated by Welsh culture and politics and this show is tailor made for Cardigan. Ivor’s family have their roots in the Cardigan and we are delighted that this exhibition will be the first to open here in the town’s 900th year.

Emma Cameron – A Sense Of Being
Emma Cameron
A Sense Of Being
Emma Cameron’s paintings have been the subject of articles both by academics and celebrities such as Griff Rhys-Jones and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen. Her paintings show human figures emerging out of abstract grounds that represent imaginative worlds of mystery and mythology in classical poses made from observation and defined by the suggestion of outline. Although she is originally from the Scottish Highlands, Cameron’s mother, the artist Tessa Spencer Pryse is Welsh, as was her grandfather, the late artist Gerald Spencer Pryse.
You are warmly invited to the opening of Emma Cameron’s exhibition at Oriel Mwldan on Friday 16th October at 5.30pm.
Admission to Oriel Mwldan is free. Opening times are 10am – 8pm DAILY.
Drawing With Scissors 
Late Works 1950 – 1954
The French painter, sculptor and designer, Henri Matisse (1869-1954) was one of the 20th century’s most influential artists. His vibrant works are celebrated for their extraordinary richness and luminosity of colour.
Matisse: Drawing with Scissors, a Hayward Touring exhibition from the Southbank Centre, features 35 lithographic prints of the famous cut-outs, produced in the last four years of his life, when the artist was confined to his bed. It includes many of his iconic images, such as The Snail and the Blue Nudes.
‘There is no gap between my earlier pictures and my cut-outs, I have only reached a form reduced to the essential through greater absoluteness and greater abstraction’ Matisse
