TOUCH The Portraiture of Dani Marti

17 September 2011 - 13 November 2012

In what can be described as ‘unorthodox ethnography’ Marti uses the Internet to meet people who then become his subjects. These encounters provide the inspiration for Marti’s portraiture which includes woven relief and free standing sculptures and video.
