Why it matters: The Suffolk-based photographer, known to much of Suffolk's business community for her distinctive and natural style, captures moments in suspension that challenge normal perspectives while creating emotional connections to everyday experiences.

The details: The exhibition focuses on documenting "time in suspension" through fine art photographic prints, highlighting what Cherry describes as "the poetry within the captured moment of movement".

In her own words: Cherry's work examines the balance between "stillness, presence and impermanence, fragility and strength" that exists both within ourselves and in our experience of time.

"I have always believed that time, like life is ephemeral and therefore precious and fragile. Perhaps that is why I love photography so passionately as it allows you to quite literally stop time, to capture moments and preserve something that may be lost," she explains.

What to expect: Visitors will see images depicting "the motions of a dancer, the flow of a fabric, the muscles that hint at strength beneath the grace, echoing the fragility of time," according to the photographer.

What they're saying: Quoting from the film "Ferris Bueller's Day Off", Cherry notes: "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

The bottom line: The exhibition aims to encourage visitors to "Simply look up", notice the unnoticed and acknowledge elements of life we often take for granted, sparking curiosity and inviting questions. You can find out more here.
