Upcoming exhibition ZOONOSES
Bayside Gallery is proud to present ZOONOSES, a major touring exhibition showcasing artworks by Dr Nicola Hooper.
Dr Nicola Hooper has taken the darker side of nature and turned it into exquisite, thought-provoking art.
Through drawing and lithography, Nicola uses fairy-tale iconology and rhymes to explore concepts surrounding zoonoses (animal diseases that can infect humans) and how we perceive certain animals in the context of fear and disease.
