Eclipse : photography by Julie-Ann Hayes

This exhibition intends to raise awareness around emotional wellbeing using the horse as a primary metaphor. The project is about searching for clarity, reaching out for support, and navigating a pathway. The landscape of the horse represents strength, trauma, trust, history, beauty, senses and feelings. The project aims to stimulate discussion around how people experience emotional turmoil and reconciliation. The images are intended to provide time out for reflection.

Open daily 10 am - 5 pm, and there's an opening view on Tuesday 10 March from 6 - 8 pm.

Additional images showcase people working with horses and the beginning of a new project examining birds of prey. This project will continue to review dynamics, interactions and relationships with the natural world.
