📸 We’re really proud to be featuring local photographer Grace Bristo in our latest photography exhibition, adding a contemporary perspective to our celebration of lens-based media.

These pieces are from Grace’s series, 'To Do List' from when the country was experiencing Lockdown.

'..the images were taken during lockdown and although in many ways the portraits represent the upcoming ease of lockdown measures, it is also to present the feeling of anticipation, joy and hopefulness.'
