It runs from August 29th to September 1st and consists of around 12 large prints which will be for sale. The exhibition was inspired by the recent hot weather, and Simon, from Ebley, has conceived, drawn and cut the MDF blocks outside, based on plants in his garden and inspired by the Japanese artist Shiko Munakata.

“I’ve been in a reflective mood since my dad died in February, the hot summer added to my creative response,” said Simon.
