Susannah Kelly: Has always been drawn to the human figure, particularly the contorted and dilapidated.

Title: Stalagtic Visitors Size: 2.5” x 3” Oval Artist: Jimmy Pickering Medium: Graphite on Acid Free Bristol in Sculpted, Custom Finished Frame Year: 2011
180° Delirium: Jimmy Pickering “As children we are in a constant state of imagination, Santa, Ghost, Fairy Tales, anything our minds can create, we see. Yet something happens as we grow, these visions are replaced with popularity, self-image, careers; it’s a world of limits. The strange thing is the imaginative state of our childhood is all but forgotten, only a handful of us remain in this world or return to it all together and this state, our original state of being is negativity, viewed as delusional by the ‘normal.’ This world of imagination is often perceived as delusional and those who remain in it are in a state of permanent delirium. 180º: delirium celebrates those viewed as refusing to grow up, those who have Peter Pan dreams. For me what this show contains is my constant state of delirium, the place I find comfort in, the imagined friends in my head. “
