Find Suffolk Craft Society Maker (and our valued, in-house graphic designer) Terry Bryan’s ‘Thunder Trees’ among the works selected to exhibit at the Royal Society of British Artists Annual Exhibition 2025, at the Mall Galleries.
In his words: ‘The day had begun, like many others, calm and relaxing, with an easy tranquillity as I strolled along the treelined path toward the distant heathland. I’d felt in harmony with my thoughts, at one with my surroundings. But I gradually became aware of subtle changes that were happening around me. An uncertainty in the air, a threatening spectre.
Even the birds, once soaring high above, were slowly and surely descending in their winged flight to find a place of sanctuary below. They seemed to transmit a nervous tension that underlined the coming turmoil. Suddenly the sky, once so bright, had become an ever darkening, brooding vista. The elements had been transformed into an all embracing fury.
The trees, standing so proud, became embroiled in that swirling vortex. They fought and strained to retain their very core, within the earth. Those very trees, in their savage beauty, became a voice. A voice of defiance against that brutal, battering storm. Those magnificent sentinels, those . . . Thunder Trees’.
The exhibition runs from 10-5, 26th February - 8th March at the Mall Galleries.
