Karla Black and Karin Ruggaber
25 May - 13 July 2013
Karla Black, Unused To, 2007, Arts Council Collection, Southbank Centre, London © the artist
Karla Black enjoys an international reputation having represented Scotland at the Venice Biennale in 2011.Using materials from the domestic (often female) sphere, including sugar paper and eye-shadow, Black's work challenges notions of sculpture as monumental, with itsfragile impermanence.
Karin Ruggaber uses the everyday and urban architectural landscape to great formal effect, creating wall and floor based structures and patterns that embrace the materially poetic and subtle.

The County Show
20 July/Gorffennaf- 7 Septmember/Medi 2013
James & Tilla Waters
Traditionally, the county show is an opportunity for farmers and gardeners to display county-wide the very best of their produce. Oriel Myrddin’s ‘county show’ highlights products of a very different kind.
Carmarthenshire is an area blessed with an unusually high proportion of artists and makers. This exhibition celebrates the work of a special selection of them. All of the makers in this exhibition live remotely, in rural locations, surrounded by the Carmarthenshire landscape; The County Show is a unique collection of individual artistic responses to their common environment.
Featuring: Catrin Howells, Duncan Ayscough, Simon Gaiger, Eve O’Neill, Julia Griffiths Jones, James & Tilla Waters, and Ainsley Hillard .
Plus ‘The Junior County Show’ in studio space, opening event on 29th June. Showing simultaneously; an exhibition featuring the work of participants (Yrs 5 & 6) on OM’s Criw Celf project
New Paintings on Textiles
Mary Lloyd Jones
14 September/Medi – 2 November/Tachwedd 2013
Following a recent study-trip to Turtle Island, investigations into Native American art have reaffirmed Mary Lloyd Jones’s life-long interest in ancestory. Throughout her illustrious career, Mary has remained fundamentally an expressive artist, preoccupied with how landscape language and history define our sense of self.
Using paint, digital media or textiles, her tirelessly exploratory eye remains as vivid as ever. For this exhibition, Mary Lloyd Jones returns to the use of fabric and dye, creating intense, abstract colour-field banners that reference the textiles of both Wales and the Americas.
Exhibition originated by Ruthin Gallery
