Please join us at the opening reception of Becc Orszag and Jeremy Blincoe's exhibition 'The Myth Makers' on Saturday 29th April from 4-6pm.

"The making of worlds just seems to come naturally to some artists. Constrained or frustrated by the ‘real’ world, they create their own where they can investigate and commentate on everything from the environment to religion to the structures of society itself without the constraints of the everyday. They are makers of myths…" Essay excerpt by Dr Ashley Crawford.
