How often is it that you get to see the work of a mother, father and daughter all in one gallery space? 'Unrelated Journeys' at The Stash Gallery proved it can be done! 

The exhibition, showing a wide range of works from all three artists, opened at the beginning of October, with curation by Jealous. The links between the works are at first glance difficult to piece together - that is, until you start to pay attention. Work by Keith Albarn investigates detailed pattern work, an interest he has been working with since the 1970s.

Patterns and colour-work can then be seen within Hazel Albarn's work, a series of abstract artworks and drawings that go 'backwards and forwards in time, showing something of the diversity of [her] experience'. 

Linking mother and father together is the work of Jessica Albarn. Detailed geometric patterns, and ethereal insects pepper the pieces (one artwork is made on hand-made paper by Hazel Albarn).

Ultimately, as artists, we don't always know exactly how we are going to be influenced by others, but with this exhibition, it was clear that art does not simply appear from thin air. We are influenced by our families, our surroundings and the experiences we have.
