ART EXHIBITIONS IN SHEPWAY

Showing now: Georges House Gallery is delighted to announce the extension of Observance, an exhibition by Nicola Dove for an extra week. Observance is a series of long exposure photographic portraits of people from a wide spectrum of faiths in a meditative state of prayer. The work explores whether this internal, spiritual experience can be recorded and communicated to an audience via a photographic medium. The images are accompanied by a soundscape made from recordings of the sitters. www.strangecargo.org.uk
