The Stillness of the Garden: Camilla Perkins

Returning to RHODES for her third solo exhibition, we are delighted to present Camilla Perkins’ new series of original works, The Stillness of the Garden, in the Project Room.  The exhibition reflects on the stillness of time spent in nature, and the way such moments are held and reshaped through memory.
