A moody poster with a dark background and pale cloud for the exhibition Thinly Veiled at Coburg House

An exhibition to bring together a collection of the unsettling, strange and uncanny. The things that reside in the in-between; vast and haunting spaces and the things just missed in the farthest corner of your eye. A showcase of work from new to well-weathered local artists making weird stuff happen.

Ben Critchley was born in 1986 and still has all his own hair and most of his own teeth. He inherited his grandpa's cameras and now has a collection of old hardware and a compulsion to coax images from ageing emulsion. Tilting and Drifting was shot on early 1990s Kodak 110 stock in a 1980s waterproof camera, on a warm summer day some years ago now. Ben wrote this in the third person and really misses his friend Randall, to whom this piece is dedicated.

HAM is a comic artist and printmaker whose work is concerned with tackling serious subject matter in the stupidest way possible

Laura Jeacock has dedicated herself to the pursuit of understanding, through her science training, art creation and her faith tradition. Her work to date includes devotional paintings of Deity, as well as more fantastical, folkloric and witchcraft-inspired pieces. She is constantly inspired by nature and the changing landscapes around her, and this is reflected in her work. She currently lives in Edinburgh, with her partner and menagerie of familiars. When she is not creating she can be found out in the wilds of Scotland, gazing lovingly at the moon, practicing yoga, or buried in an esoteric book.

Hari Heart is a mixed media/fibre artist and collector of bits.

Amelia Whitehouse is the ghost of an only child that uses art to communicate a sense of othering, loneliness and delight in the mild discomfort of strangers. They read, write and speak for money; they make art to annoy people.

Dr Orange Peel is a person that glues sh*t to paper and here is his art.
