EMOTIONAL REPAIR  - Ruth Singer
28 March to 24 June

Textile artist Ruth Singer explores personal and universal stories of love and loss, grief and celebration - using stitch as an act of remembrance and as a solace in times of emotional turmoil. New work in the exhibition is inspired by items in the collection and the stories behind these items.
