'daylights' Exhibitions

06 June 2025

Visit Anglesea Art Space to view Anglesea artist Chris Nash who distinctively blends assemblage techniques with abstraction to echo natural and constructed forms. His monochromatic designs play with light and shadow to add layers and further dimensionality to minimalist designs – and found objects are often used as materials to explore how rejected and neglected items can take on new identities.
