Photo Gallery: Of Flesh and Stone, HOME, Manchester

Posted by Helen Nugent | Feb 14, 2018 | Art, Arts

This March, as part of the HOME Projects series, Manchester’s HOME is hosting an exhibition of new drawing from artist Tom Baskeyfield and photography from Mario Popham exploring the complex landscape of North Wales.

Of Flesh and Stone explores how we have shaped and been shaped by stone with some stunning imagery. Forming the second part of the artists’ project Shaped by Stone, the exhibition highlights the relationship between the post-industrial landscape of North Wales and the urban rooftops of Manchester.
