All Alone Together
Solo exhibition
Gibberd Gallery
19 June-23 August 2013
The Watergardens, Harlow, Essex
Three sculptural installations – claustrophobic, defensive spaces reminiscent of military bunkers – have been built in the gallery, and individuals and groups in Harlow are invited to make use of them.
