OPENING NIGHT: FRIDAY 20th September, 6 - 8.30pm "Blushing for Trusting is my ode to empathy. It revels in the strength found in emotional openness and the courage it takes to confront our vulnerabilities we when are exposed. These artworks explore the quirks of our inner world of shame and guilt to reveal the delicate and obscure boundaries of self-preservation, its destruction, and the beastly ways we suffer from our own beliefs. I want to love the unloved, make peace with the inner pest, and continue to surrender to the transformative power of empathy."
