By Tin Fish
We think,
we make, we do….
A thought, an image,
a creation captured in time,
and time is scarce,
our existence is fragile.

Tin Fish is a group of four individual artists including Carina Hall, Marie Hart, Danielle Ward and Becky Metcalfe. ‘Fragile Existence’ is Tin Fish’s first collaborating exhibition whose aim is to share their diverse styles and ideas with the public in an exhilarating way. The group produces their work in a variety of different mediums and between them they have backgrounds in Fine Art, Textiles, Photography and Sculpture. They produce Art that is pure, subtle and focuses on their own deceptions of the surrounding environment.

Carina Hall: www.photoescape.co.uk hall_carina@hotmail.com - Carina documents fragile moments found in nature where she illustrates the effects that reflections, light, movement and water have on landscapes and underwater scenes. This heightens the surreal feel she likes to portray in her images. Carina enjoys discovering patterns created under the surface of the water; the way in which sunlight, clouds and colours of the underwater landscape move and are reflected back onto the water.

Danielle Ward: danielle_de_bie@hotmail.com www.danielle-ward.co.uk As a student in her native Holland Danielle always found herself drawing and painting, when her grandfather hand made her an easel, there was no going back. Through the years, the inspiration behind Danielle’s contemporary art comes from the elements of nature combined with the fantastical realm of the imagination.

Marie Hart: marie@thefairyandtheneedle.co.uk www.thefairyandtheneedle.co.uk - Marie studied Contemporary Textile Design which has equipped her with tools to approach her artwork with an almost limitless array of materials and techniques. For Marie, her artwork is led by her love for textures, constructed surfaces and a passion for exploring new ways of employing everyday materials. Nothing is restricted, it is all open to never-ending possibilities. Scale, media and dimension are Marie’s playground as she fuses contemporary stitch with print, paint, felt and glass.
