Over the next fortnight the work of two artists, Hazel and another participant, is on display along with pieces made by others in the group. Both artists’ work is loosely based around portraiture, whether that be a three-dimensional portrait or a sound portrait. The other works are things that you can make a sound with either by tapping or ringing.
