POP-UP EXHIBITION

Visit a brand new collaborative exhibition by Kim Coley & Mel Davies in our atmospheric Spinning Mill Loft above the Spinning Mill Studios.

“Over the years, Mel and I have developed our own visual language and we each have our own preoccupations, however for the last few year we have been working together on the same pictures at the same time. This is our second show as collaborators." - Kim Coley.
