Three-dimensional characters, emerging from assemblages of found objects, beg the question what do we think we are? Quirky and unsettling images about the impermanence of individual identity, text in textiles, and a moving self-portrait of the artist /yogini - this is an exhibition for inquisitive bodies and enquiring minds.
How can we love our bodies in the age of air-brush and fat panic? This event promotes a healthy respect for bodies in all their myriad manifestations and beyond the shock of difference.
