Maria-Margaretta – A Brief Retelling of a Long Story
March 6th – April 17th, 2021
Telephone Gallery is pleased to showcase its third exhibition with artist Maria-Margaretta presented by Jack Kenna. Maria-Margaretta’s practice operates in subtlety and humour, asking us to look again, and think again. Out of a reverence for everyday objects and the stories they hold, Maria’s work pulls at the tangled strings of old family histories and fictions: at once humorous and interrogative.
