Artist and curator's tour and teaEmii Alrai
A new room of the exhibition with deep red walls where glass vessels and white lilies are displayed on what looks like volcanic rock or black soil. This creates a striking contrast between the delicate transparent glass, pure white flowers, and rough black material. Black and white photographs hang on the walls behind these installations.

Welcome to Spring 25 at Compton Verney

The sculpture has an abstract, irregular form with many protruding elements. It is displayed on a raised platform in a spacious, gallery-like room with stone walls.
