Please see below my “Artist’s Statement”: 

"Maggie explores how human activity and the environment interact and evolve, in particular, the cultural landscape of a place from the urban and industrial to the pastoral. Using different printing techniques Maggie investigates how those properties can enhance the viewer’s experience and evoke feelings, memories, and a sense of place.”

 Overview

The opening was very well successful, with lots of visitors. The prints were beautifully hung in the two galleries and were displayed in groups by each artist. Many have already been sold and the show is well worth a visit.

I got some very good feedback!
