Edith Simon Once Again

This is an unusual exhibition. The artist herself, in a Tina Turner-esque blond wig, glasses with huge green frames and in, without wishing to stare- what looked like her party dress, was seated behind a huge desk in front of which was a video screen showing how she makes her 'papercut bas relief' work. This work creates impressions as do paintings, but is obtained by cutting with a scalpel through layers of paper, usually of different colour. The effect is bold, and rather like a print, but can be very ornate and intricate. There were also some of her sculptures, in bronze resin. This is worth a visit if you are in the neighbourhood if only from the curiosity value.

Mon-Sat 10:30am to 6:00pm.

Free, selling exhibition
