Breathing Walls: Egypt runs until August 31

Treasuring the everyday

In Gallery Two of the Pavilion Downtown is a giant image of a palm tree on a white sand beach with azure waters. Look a little closer and you will see this is actually an image of an image; question the artist and you will discover it is a photograph of the wallpaper in her room at university.

Hung from the Moon runs until August 31
