At the Artrageous Art Extravaganza art auction, Sunday October 3rd 2010, Laura Martier, executive director of Dare County Arts Council, gave her public endorsement of our plans to make real arts contacts with our American twin town:

“We have some guest from Bideford England, Sadie and Dave Green. They’re our guests of honour tonight and what happens with our guests of honour? We will just make them work. They’ve been working for us all weekend, working for us on First Friday and working with us tonight. And Bideford is our twin town in England so we’re working on some cultural arts exchanges with the artists in Bideford and with the artists in Dare County so hopefully we’ll all get a trip to England out of it; so let me know if you want to get involved in that one!” – Laura Martier

A photographic artist who has built up a unique vision of the world through his digitally constructed images. None of his photographs are simply photographs; most of them are made from up to 100 separate images layered, like strata, on top of each other to build up an impression of what it is like to be in a place, giving the viewer far more than a visual experience.
