A NEW exhibition called Resemblances opens at The Fish Factory in Penryn this evening.

Poet Charlotte Hampshaw and artist Esme Lansdowne have collaborated to create an "interdisciplinary dialogue".

With art inspired by poetry and poetry inspired by art, Resemblances navigates the subjective perception of home and place to question if home exists within body, music, nature, or within history, memory and objects.

The artists reunite after their first exhibition, ASSEMBLAGE – which took place in the summer of last year.

A multi-medium artist, Lansdowne utilises painting, sculpture and projection to canvass the liminal and transient nature of home.

Through a display of writing and poetry, Hampshaw inscribes the intangible space of home into words and collage.

Tonight's opening will take place at 6.30pm with a live cello performance by Lily Wellan followed by duo, Ed Hanley and Keith Allen with experimental electronica and traditional folk.

Hampshaw will also be performing a selection of her poetry on the opening night. All welcome.

Another collaborative exhibition will begin on Thursday, February 6, held and organised by Falmouth University students based on the simple pleasures in life’.

The purpose is to celebrate and appreciate the simplicity of the normal every day, whilst also showcasing talent amongst local artists.

Linda Dennis (see picture) will be the artist in residence from February 25 until March 5.

She is an Australian artist living and working in Tokyo with a small window gallery in a Japanese seaside town called Toba.

Toba is a seaside town with a high number of fishermen and is also home to the famous female ama free divers who have been free diving for pearls for the past 2000 years.
