The Arts Forum reveals its green credentials with new exhibition; Recycled 2012 which opens February 17. Eight artists will show off their eco-creativity with a diverse show of local talent, from paper dresses by Maika Crampton, reclaimed driftwood pieces from Tim Riddihough, metal work from Serena Thirkell and Stuart Walton’s Hastings & Bexhill Wood Recycling Project.

The beach is inspiration for Penny Hobson’s objets-trouvees works, and the show will also feature assemblages from the late Max Lane, metal pieces from Iain Johnston and metal and wood works from Peter Edwards.

Expect the unexpected at the opening night of Recycled 2012 – with outrageous paper couture worn by Maika and friends.
