SPOON THEORY
27 October – 9 December 2023
Artist | Elizabeth Curry
Spoon Theory is an exhibition of spoons crafted to abstractly represent some of the emotions and traits experienced and exhibited by a person living with an invisible illness, in this case autism and depression. Based on the concept of Spoon Theory created by Christine Miserandino, each spoon will be crafted from scratch and represent an emotion or trait faced by a specific individual, the artist herself.
The aim of the exhibition is to bring awareness to invisible illnesses. It is hoped that it may help some people either through recognition or understanding and assist in the breakdown of associated stigmas.
Join us in celebrating these two wonderful exhibitions on Thursday 26 October 2023 from 6.00pm - 8.00pm. Book your ticket here.
Refreshments will be available from our pay bar.
