GALLERY 2: The short days of winter are upon us – room for pause, and contemplation of the seeming diminishment of time. And of materiality, well-being and decay… In the artists’ own words: Hilary Dodd’s abstracted forms linger behind the veil their constructed surfaces, shrouded and immobile. We are seductively reminded of the delicate yet brutal nature of […]
