to it, you are everything. Bringing together new work by @kelan.andrews , @_adamrawlinson and @freya.wysocki , the exhibition explores our relationship with the natural world through material experimentation, abstract observation and quiet moments of reflection. Created during the artists’ Haworth Trust residencies at Paradise Works, ‘to it, you are everything’ invites visitors to consider how we exist alongside the world around us, finding beauty in the everyday and encouraging a slower, more thoughtful way of looking. The exhibition is open 12-4pm on 22nd and 23rd August. Curated by @kaytwoods_ Photography by @michaelpollardphotography

permanent collection ADAM RAWLINSON Adam is a Manchester-based painter who grew up in Morecambe. taking what could be viewed as a purely abstract approach, Adam’s practice is underpinned by his passion for the natural world, particularly his research into Lichens. viewing his paintings are a constant shift between the physicality and process of paint, and a transition into a representation of micro and macro woodland. composition, application and colour distort/pull/stretch our sense of scale and depth. getting lost in the forest becomes pleasantly unsettling there is a sincerity in Adam’s paintings, holding the expressive qualities of modernist abstraction, while his intense admiration for the natural world bleeds the existential crises of the contemporary condition. these ideas are at the root of Adam’s thinking, becoming an existential and phenomenological consideration of what it means to be ‘alive’ Untitled, oil on paper, 2026, is installed at Woodlands Garage [who regularly fix Jwllrs’ car], as part of permanent collection, pairing locally significant artworks with relevant local venues ID1: an A4 poster with the above text, Arts Council and Bay Framing logos bottom left, @Jwllrs_ + jwllrs.net bottom right on a background image of a building with an MOT logo and corrugated roof, foregrounding green trees ID2: the previous image without the poster, revealing a sign reading WOODLANDS, a large wrench, and contact details
