"I shall not want ..."

An exhibition by Mandy Mcguire at St John Bosco Catholic Church.

The exhibition includes two separate bodies of work. The first examines the concept of faith through a series of small portraits of friends, family and strangers. The second series is a metaphorical response to our desire and yearning for more; it is about our restless spirit and our search to fill the void.

Exhibition open 12am Saturday September 22th to Friday September 28th.
