Kate Flood: the light
within
3 December 2011 – 5 February
2012. Kate Flood’s radiant landscapes convey transient
moments and a sense of stillness. Sometimes the view is from a
window or a shaded enclosure, looking out towards the light or onto
a glade; her aim being to explore the contrast between stillness
and the shifting patterns of foliage, light and shade.
