This exhibition of new sculpture and painting by Cathy Wilkes responds to issues of war and conflict. Curated by Dominic Paterson, the exhibition is influenced by Cathy’s childhood in Northern Ireland, and by histories and experiences of violence not usually given expression within official representations of war.
