Admission

Free

Figures in plaster and bronze that keep their seams, pour marks and thumbprints on show.

Tomasz Weir’s new figures are cast from moulds he breaks open before they are finished, so every one is a record of an interruption. Plaster Saints is his largest exhibition to date, filling the Main Gallery with twenty-one works.
