They sail across the mirrored sea
This exhibition brings together artists under the banner of SCI, whose collective aim is to connect with similar artists. The artists met though international programmes and exhibitions, maintaining a strong relationship with each other and continue to collaborate with others.
Forming a part of the Independents Biennial, the artists have each hosted exhibitions or projects that have provided opportunities for others
Exhibiting artists: Jackie Berridge, Michael Borkowsky, Debra Eck, Catherine Harrison, Jacqueline F Kerr, Sharon Mossbeck, Artemis Potamianou, Alison Whitmore and Wendy Williams
