Anita Haywood @ Heathcote Museum & Gallery

Event Title: The Illusion of Control.
Participating Artists: Anita Haywood.

Venue:
Heathcote Museum & Gallery,
58-60 Duncraig Road, Applecross.

Description: Anita Haywood explores the Human Condition through photography, painting, film, installation and sculpture in this solo exhibition that questions the ways in which we attempt to take charge of our fate. Haywood says, 'We like to believe that we have control over our lives. But have we? We hone skills to cope with a contemporary society, but events develop out of our jurisdiction and we can only respond, particularly in an accident, battle or a natural disaster. Even when planning our own funeral, nothing is guaranteed. Control is inevitably out of our hands.'

Dates: 28 May 2011 to 3 July 2011.
Opening Times: Tuesday - Friday 10-3pm; Saturday - Sunday 11-3pm.
