<strong><em>Usurp Art Gallery presents "TEEN-AGE" by Cathy Ward</em></strong>

Launch event Friday 16th April 6.30 to 9.30pm

Cathy Ward intertwines mysterious drawings of convoluted masses of hair with symbol-laden landscape installations. For her show at the Usurp Gallery, Ward transforms the space into cascades of entrancing evocations of that which is hidden, plucked out and forbidden.

<em>If the scent of her hair were to blow across my dust when I had been dead a hundred years, my mouldering bones would rise and come dancing out of the tomb...</em> Hafiz of Shiraz (Khwaja Shams ud-Din Hafiz-i Shirazi 1326-1390)

Exhibition 17th April to 31st May 2010
Thurs to Sun 2pm to 8pm
