I was delighted to see\u00a0a truly brilliant exhibition of work by Michael Brennand-Wood. Ideas based on fusions of western and Islamic cultural influences, as well notions of memory, collecting and classification made for inspirational work. Integrated panels and framed one-off pieces celebrated craft and making skills and were joyously fused into dramatic art. There was also an interesting juxtaposition of representational and abstract art, along with changes of mood and colour, all within a beautifully curated\u00a0show within the NCCD&#8217;s main gallery space.<\/p>\n<p>Quite simply, the\u00a0show has an enormous amount of visual interest in the work, where the viewer can almost\u00a0how\u00a0see interesting decisions have been made regarding choices of materials and colour combinations. A fascinating show, well worth returning to for a second look.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.nationalcraftanddesign.org.uk\/whatson\/#michael-brennand-wood-seeds-of-memory\">Michael Brennan-Wood:\u00a0<em>Seeds of Memory<\/em><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span>\u00a0continues until 29 November.
