Dark Silhouette
Helen Heslop

Exploring the ‘abuse cycle’ in intimate partner relationships, Helen Heslop’s artworks employ quilting language and paint swatches. They illuminate women’s experiences of coercive control, with ‘Dark Silhouette’ invoking a charcoal-grey house-paint, evoking a feeling of being watched and surrounded by menace. 

Dark Silhouette  by Helen Heslop will open alongside our other exhibitions: The Daylight Moon by Francis Cai, Life in the Old Dog,Yet by Brian Jones and  Everlasting Happiness by Deborah White. 

Don’t miss the opening of these fantastic exhibitions on Thursday 18 April, from 6-8pm.
