Music and Making Exhibition - postponed until further notice
This exhibition, due to run from 27 March - 9 May 2020 at the dot-art Gallery, Liverpool, has been postponed due to the pandemic. Hopefully it will be rescheduled at a later date once the gallery can reopen.
The exhibition features the work of artists for whom music is a key part of their artistic practice. Ali Barker, Aimee Blackledge and Nathan Pendlebury present works reflecting the texture and rhythm of sound through bold and gestural abstract paintings.
You can view the work I created for this exhibition here. All works for this exhibition are for sale through dot-art Gallery, Liverpool
