A variety of formats is featured in this year's selection of visual arts exhibits, ranging from photography, painting to installation and ceramics. The following are three of the pieces exhibited in the show -
Adventure of a Horny Dyke, by Helena Janecic
Forbidden Fruit, by Peter Garrard
Nuts by Simon Croft
Simon has explained his work above is to portray a sense of 'constructed masculinity' resembling that of the trans-gendered male. You can see the screws are not driven through the metal plate as they don't align with each other on both sides.
