Motifusion

Between 16 December 2019 and 10 January 2020, Nick Chaffe (with Bruce Asbestos) worked within the gallery as our ‘Motif Artist in Residence’. During this time, Nick embraced laser cutting technology to further explore his illustrative style of minimising and fusing together everyday items to create new meaning and possibility.
