As part of the Winter Arts Weekend, we are delighted to present an installation of works by Nina Royle, an artist based in West Cornwall.
Nina’s work is centred in painting but is also made as text, performance and utilitarian object. In these works mythologies, observations of the phenomenal within the everyday, and the alchemic possibilities of pigmented materials conflate, to be understood through one another.
Nina’s work will be on show over the whole weekend at St Michael’s Church, Newquay.
29 November: 5pm - 6pm, 30 Nov: 10am - 3pm, 1 Dec: 2pm - 5pm
