Miriam Stannage: Survey 2006-2016
Curated by Lee Kinsella.
This new exhibition showcases Stannage’s characteristically wry observations of life, and testifies to her ongoing experimentation and innovation across a range of media. The artist utilises everyday objects to offer commentary on fame, and the fragile and transitory nature of our time on this planet in strangely beautiful works of art.
Photographs from major series including Elvis and Marilyn (Spirit Photographs), 2009-2010, Paradise Lost, 2008 and her most recent Security Notice series, 2014 - 2015 will be on display.
Exhibition runs: 30 July - 24 September 2016
