the relationships of the commonplace.

canvas. The exhibition runs from 10 to 26 November.

Mel Brigg's take on the porcupine quill

Part of Mel Brigg's recent
exhibition - Emotive Moods - based on the short-form of a commonly-used
phrase - WTF - is a stunning acrylic painting with a real porcupine quill.
As a quill pierces the cheetah’s flesh and slowly bores deeper over
time, the predator is rendered in acute pain with infected organs and it
eventually succumbs to death.
