Chara Lewis, Kristin Mojsiewicz, and Anneke Pettican work together under the collective name of Brass Art. Through their work they seek to explore the rich potential of old and new media, combining a fascination with pre-cinematic optical illusory devices with cutting edge 21st century technologies, fusing traditional and contemporary skills, the real with the illusory.
This is an exclusive opportunity to meet the artists and gain an insight into their working practice in the intimacy of their studio.
