Paola King-Borrero: em-bedded

On show 16 May to 1 June

Paola King-Borrero explores the bed as both an intimate object and a creative catalyst, inviting us to see it not just as a physical space but as a symbolic one, rich with personal and artistic meaning.

Embedding herself and the spectator in the resting spaces of muses, King-Borrero reveals a dynamic arena where desire, the body and the unconscious serve as impetuses for creative expression.
