Origins

18 May – 17 August 2024

This exhibition is an exploration of beginnings and endings – of family mythologies, births, deaths and cosmic cycles.  Beginning with a focus upon the minutiae of the everyday in its grainy, gritty glory and then expanding outwards to consider the source of life.  It features photographs and paintings from the Cruthers Collection of Women’s Art by artists including Dorothy Braund, Katthy Cavaliere and Helen Maudsley.
