As part of the AP&Beyond Festival we are putting on two very exciting exhibitions, which will fill The Step with artwork inspired by local landmarks.

Megan Sinfield works in digital collage and she has created a body of work especially for her exhibition at The Step.

Megan explains that her intention is “to uncover an element of beauty in places you wouldn’t expect and to celebrate local treasures, sources of comfort and familiarity to those who pass them everyday.”is an artist who focuses on depicting “Places that are maybe overlooked or ignored. …not beautiful, although some have a faded grandeur of beauty past its prime, now run down and falling apart.”

Megan creates her work by scanning a drawing into a computer and then building it up with layers, blending sections of photographs to create interesting colours and rough textures which often resemble painting.

Megan will be at The Step in person on Saturday 23rd June between 2-4pm where you will be able to ask her questions about her work, what inspires her and her artistic techniques.

All work is for sale – grab your chance to buy a piece of locally-inspired and important artwork!

Exhibition dates: Thursday 21st June to Sunday 22nd July
