Katharine Aarrestad's technique of reverse painting on glass creates compelling, subtle and disconcerting images that hint at the mutable nature of existence. Her unusual and intricate work depicts nostalgic figures and landscapes which create a shifting vision of reality. This exhibition features works investigating simulacra of empire, exploration and childhood.
