Sitting Pretty: The Desserts of Discontent | Victoria McIntosh

Next date: Saturday, 02 November 2024 | 10:00 AM to Sunday, 26 January 2025 | 04:00 PM

Victoria McIntosh’s Sitting Pretty: The Desserts of Discontent takes inspiration from Mrs Beeton’s 1861 Guide to Cookery and Household Management. Padded, painted, and adorned with pearls, these objects that once told stories of aspiration and control have been reimagined to tell a tale of self perception, and body image.

Artist talk: 1pm, Saturday 2 November.
The Forrester Gallery will be open all day Saturday 2nd Nov, 10 am – 4 pm to celebrate the opening of five new exhibitions.
