Date: Sat 16 Aug – Sat 13 Sept
Exhibitor: Marty Branagan
Celebrating nature and spirituality, these mixed-media artworks emerge from an experimental surrealist and dadaist practice involving elements of abstraction.
Each artwork is coaxed into life and allowed to emerge like natural processes over a long period, layer on layer, through many moods.
