Eight artists from Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire
make up the organisation, dedicated to promoting contemporary work
by older artists and making it accessible to the public by regular
exhibitions throughout East Anglia.
"I have been looking at how the mind
functions when the body is in pain, how the nervous system manages
to cope under pressure, said group founder," Pam Winbolt.
"Taking a look “inside” is a fascinating and beautiful
journey. The mind is an instrument of such complexity so that with
such little knowledge I can only pretend to tinkle a tune.

"Ageing is a fascinating
process, which everyone goes through. Its something most people
seem to dread - yet Its a colourful adventure to travel through
to old age.
"The lines, wrinkles and wisdom which age brings to a personÂ’s
face are wonderful. These works are a celebration of the ageing
process," added Pam Winbolt.
The title Germination seemed to be an obvious
one for an exhibition at the John Innes Centre, enabling the artists
to work on the same theme with their own interpretation. This has
resulted in a coherent yet stunningly different exhibition.
Using an exciting and innovative mix of methods and materials ,
the exhibition will reflect on ideas around growth, ageing and development
in relation to the body, and environmental concerns.
