In this exhibition Janet Bellotto continues to explore narratives inspired by recent travels through the desert and stories that have appeared like a mirage or are emerging from a time of rapid transformation and change.
On Saturday March 5 Janet will discuss her current work in the gallery, her recent presentation in the 12th Cairo Biennale and other journeys in the Gulf.
