Having been preparing for this show for over three years, watching as the gallery emerged from a building site, Lloyd’s photography, videos and slides capture spontaneous moments as if they were but a blink of the eye. Until 6 Feb.

Inspired by the work of Franz West, Cy Twombly, Niki de Saint Phalle and Constantin Brancusi, the Canadian born Shannon Oksanen’s handmade objects conjure up a palpable sense of nostalgia.
