Complimenting this new work is a collection of the artist's vibrant, gestural abstract paintings.

Quilos and the Windmill are a pair of artist-explorers who, travelling light, use whatever they find on their journeys as starting-points for structures, images, words, sounds and performances.

The idea for these works in this exhibition began during a residency at Ox Bow School of Art in Michigan.

The making process is truely collaborative as each work is passed back and forth betwen the two artists until it comes to rest.
