“The hero’s tale is a tale of inevitability. Through this narrative arc, the viewer knows with surety that the hero will triumph, no matter how dire the situation nor high the stakes. and while it is easy to see ourselves as the heroes of our own stories, to see our triumph as written in the stars, we must contend with the possibility that we are villains in the stories of others”. Jess Taylor, on new works, so wrapped in the language of myth and allegory.

Opening Event: Thursday 22 September, 6pm
