Adam Hahn: Bloodlines
Have you ever been told that you look like someone? Or looked in the mirror and seen the face of a parent or sibling? In ‘Bloodlines’ Hahn investigates physical similarities in families by making composite paintings of siblings. By layering images of brothers and sisters, a new face emerges with traces of family members past and present. He was inspired by Francis Galton (1822-1911) who aimed to discover common traits among criminals, the chronically sick and ethnic groups. more
Free Adminssion. Gallery open 10am - 4pm Monday to Saturday. Contact 01865 319450
