VISUAL ART EXHIBITION
Co-curated by Amy Foster & Fearn Hepden


OPENING NIGHT:
Friday 23rd February - 7pm - 10pm 


EXHIBITION CONTINUES:
Saturday 24th February & Sunday 25th February 11am - 5pm 


Amy explores the significance of human experience in spaces. Working with digitally manipulated film and ethereal print, the work captures the ephemeral and embodies a sense of meaning associated with place. 
Fearn investigates the value associated with found objects, their social significance and functional importance.  By rebuilding the original object, the work generates new meaning and re-imagines its worth.
The work generated at Winkhill Mill will combine opposing material practices in response to significance and meaning within the context of industry and community.
