View a compelling documentary about this exhibition. Click on the video image in the slide show above, or follow the link - http://vimeo.com/27364276

Hanna Kay's work is distinctive. It is no ordinary landscape or still-life. In this exhibition, Circularity, she returns to a dominant pattern in nature: a circle. The presence of the circle is literal as a shape, narrative in terms of the cycle of growth and decay, and conceptual as both an object and a space.
