Pauline Rhodes - Flow

Thank you to everyone who has come in to spend time among the works and conversing with us. There have been some really thought provoking discussion, and responses to the works, from both visitors familiar with Pauline's practice and also those new to it.
- Jonathan & Owen

Today marks the final day for 'Flow' by Pauline Rhodes. The Gallery will be closing at 3pm, after which we will begin preparations for our next show by Tjalling de Vries.
