Anna Davern's practice intervenes into the iconography of the kitsch souvenir to question cultural identity. In Buena Vista Davern exploits the political import of the silhouette, cutting away from the quaint landscapes of vintage biscuit tins, the ghostly outlines of human figures. The parts removed find new form as objects of adornment, whilst the hollow spaces left behind trace a troubling relationship to national identity.

Opening Thursday 25 September, 6-8pm. Artist talks 5:30pm

Artist talk Anna will be giving a free artist talk on Sunday, 26 October as part of Get into Art! Open Day. Bookings are not required and all are welcome.
