In a lively and fascinating display of paintings, ecoprints, textile creations, prints and sculpture – as well as specimens of actual seeds and pods to examine – the exhibition explores myriad aspects of the theme: seeds and germination. Featuring works by Jo Haythornthwaite, Michelle Ella, Stephanie Sheppard, Celeste Lopez, Madeline Vincenzi, and Marie Mitchell.
