CHRYSALIS

26 Apr 2026 Come and see CHRYSALIS, a meditation on metamorphosis in sculpture, painting and animation. The moon waxes and wanes, cells divide, babies grow, and grubs become butterflies. Human life is a series of metamorphoses, as we transition from one phase to the next, one body to the next.
