557 Shadows

In the evocative setting of the Crypt Gallery, six artists will present a series of works exploring the beauty and mystery of the human form. 557 Shadows will combine classical craftsmanship with modern interpretation to give unique views of the body in life and death that question what it means to be human, with the title referencing the role of the Crypt as a final resting place and spiritual gateway for 557 people.

Working in a range of media, including stone carving, drawing, glass sculpture and photography, the artists will explore the perception of the body in today’s society and the essence of human form across boundaries of gender, ethnicity and sexuality.
