Ricky Swallow’s first major solo show on home turf since 2006. Alongside the artist’s trademark intricately carved-wooden sculptures, the exhibition features two bodies of watercolors, which while less known, have also been a significant component of Swallow’s art practice, and bronzes competed over the past year. ‘The bricoleur’ refers to the artist’s creative use of materials from his immediate surroundings.
