Julia Morison Myriorama # 6 Wayzgoose and Ringing the Changes
Two Rooms presents version #6 of Julia Morison's continually changing exhibition series Myriorama. A 'myriorama' is a Victorian parlour card game of specially printed small landscapes that can be horizontally repositioned to create a variety of imaginary panoramic vistas. Julia has devised her own version. Myriorama #6 is a regeneration of the Adam Gallery installation (September 2009) and was inspired by a recent residency at Muka lithographic Sudios in Auckland.
Ringing the Changes shown in the gallery upstairs at Two Rooms, is a suite of 60 Intaglio monoprints.
