Cherry Pickles is one of the artists in the current elysium gallery exhibition ‘Household Name’.
Household Name is a dynamic and timely contemporary art exhibition featuring seven Welsh and Wales-based women artists working in paint, sculpture, film, photography, text and performance. Ranging from internationally renowned practitioners to emerging artists, and all producing bold, innovative, exciting and engaging works, Household Name features direct responses to the title from questioning the political and the scientific, through to investigations of the domestic setting via witchcraft, gender identity and climate change.
Exhibition runs until Sat July 10th
Open Weds – Sat 11am – 6pm
