19 Visual Arts DAVID STOREY ‘MOTHER AND CHILD’ Not Just Me “From childhood toys and ghostly presences to protective familiars, friends and family, this exhibition investigates how companions shape our identities, ground our emotions, and bridge the gap between the visible and invisible worlds. Not Just Me challenges us to rethink the boundaries of connection. In a world marked by isolation, digital communication, and spiritual searching, our companions - seen or unseen - offer profound insight into the human need for closeness, understanding and co-existence. Exhibiting artists include Margot Bandola, Michelle Conway, Ellie Davies, Andrea Gangi, Susan Halls, Kerry Jameson, Peter Jones, Sarm Micciche, Edith Morris, Sally Muir, Kim L Pace, Simon Quadrat, Anna Rocke, David Storey, Charles Williams, and Sophie Woodrow.” 21 March - 11 April: Andelli Art, Mendip House, Upper Breach, SOUTH HORRINGTON, Wells, BA5 3QG.
