Good grief - what is this? Two artists directly addressing the inner experience; in their art exploring grief. While it is unusual in contemporary art to see emotion foregrounded, the timing of this exhibition made exploration of the subject inevitable, despite it not having been on the agenda initially. Earlier this year Hutchinson's mother was tragically killed in a road accident and for Tekela-Smith the month, which would have been the 21st birthday of her daughter who died in early childhood, brought sorrow to the surface.
