Art Exhibition By Natalie Sirett Launches At The Old Diorama Arts Centre

Visit The Old Diorama Arts Centre to see Natalie Sirett's Cautionary Tales exhibition December 2017. 

Drawing on magical fairytales and traditional myths for inspiration, Natalie Sirett’s new exhibition `Cautionary Tales’ presents viewers with figures and characters inspired by a wide range of sources. Here, at Diorama Arts Centre, Sirett’s interwoven paintings and sculptures draw on the great tradition of British storytelling, weaving narratives and tales of popular heroines and female fictional characters such as Cinderella and Miss Haversham.

Delve a little deeper though and these femme fatales reveal more than you might expect. Exploring the tales we tell ourselves, the stories embedded deep within our culture and society’s vision of feminine ideals, this display takes a closer look at the role of women in the world today.
Free to view in The Sunrise Room, this exhibition is open daily from 10 am to 6 pm, including weekends. Why not call by next time you are out and about on campus and uncover more about Natalie’s stories and themes?
