Inter-section
two artists working together
During Covid artists altered their way of working. Some went into a dormant state, others worked furiously. Jean Munro McCarthy and Jean McNeil met in the garden to work on paintings together. Not just side by side, but on the same large piece of paper, brush strokes and mark-making responding to each other’s. They aimed not just to share ideas but to fully collaborate, in the hope of breaking free from the constraints of previous style and method.

Open Evening Friday 11 - 6.30pm-8.30pm
This event has also been created to raise funds for Create (Arts), a leading UK arts charity that uses creative arts to "connect, empower, inspire and upskill society's most disadvantaged and vulnerable people".The Takeover Team are so excited to share all the amazing new work with Essex and contribute towards the ever-growing , ever-valuable and ever-enriching field of youth arts!
