Pamela Walker is a multimedia artist who uses an eclectic mixture of materials and techniques to create artworks in a variety of media. She works primarily with materials which are old, unloved and discarded . By recycling and altering these neglected items they are reborn whilst being used to make important commentaries on local, global, social and political issues.
Due to the exception quality and quantity of proposals for this open call we have invited some of the artists who made submissions also to present work in the gallery and this will also be included in our online shop.
Artists also showing work in Teatime include Frances Magee, Arlene, Marks, Bronagh Lawson, Andrea MCCullough-Alderdice, Helen Kerr, Oonagh McAteer, Jill Phillips, Caroline Moore, Ciara Quinn, Sue Cathcart and Robyn Hutchinson.
