CURATORIAL STATEMENT
This exhibition will explore the theme of nurture and the act of nurturing. Each artist has a conceptual link to a familial or cultural nurturing pertinent to their personal experience. More than this, visually they all connect as the artists have all employed a more subdued palette within their works and, compositionally, each work appears to want to engage and nurture the viewer directly.
