Harry Symons – 2016
“Inspired by the vines crawling along Kingston’s brick walls, the installation will sprout and expand as the exhibition period progresses, with viewers able to revisit the gallery to witness its transformation.”

Inspired by the vines crawling along Kingston’s brick walls, the installation will sprout and expand as the exhibition period progresses, with viewers able to revisit the gallery to witness its transformation.
