In the stillness of the softly lit gallery, the line, scale and aroma of the artwork will be exaggerated, allowing the physical presence and ‘language’ of the artwork to be spoken intimately.
Five live installations in response to the themes of Making It, which will unfold over four days in different parts of the Discovery Centre.
There will also be a selection of workshops on Saturday, view the website for more details.
