Description
Sheila Maki is an abstract printmaker and multi-media artist. This exhibition consists of a limited range of darkly radiant colours and shapes: the form of a fish, droplet of water or the ponted top af an exclamation mark, screen-printed in different places on her expansive prints. Geometric forms slice into her collages.
