EXHIBITIONS
We have three exciting and varied exhibitions this month!
Each of the exhibitions runs until September 28th.
CANTERBURY LOFTS VENUE
Unfinished
An Exhibition of work by Susan Roberts
Susan Roberts M.A. is a sculptor and painter who has been showing work around Wales and various parts of the world for many years.
Her work is mainly about what it is to be a woman. Her sculptures express emotions through their twisting forms and their tactile surface texture. Smooth and rough surfaces invite us to touch or sometimes repel us. Her works are often about the ageing progress, feelings, emotions and the stresses and strains on the body.
