Solo show is almost over and it's been quite the experience. I think the work looks fabulous in the gallery and the response has been beyond all expectation! Thank you to everyone who has ventured down, left feedback and got in touch with me about the work. Thank also to Neil McGregor, Curator, who has performed wonders with the lighting - it's a truly magical space. The gallery is closed from the afternoon of 24th December and reopens on the 2nd January - but it's not too late - the show continues till 11th January with a performance on the final day - see flyer above. Coming up soon: Solo exhibition in Doncaster https://sculptors.org.uk/artists/whats-on/2024/10/visceral-echoes-solo-exhibition-sarah-villeneau
