‘Her work is variously funny-sad, sexy-sad, comforting-sad, politically furious and excellently freaky.’

‘An important affirmation on the power of creativity in the face of austerity, desperation and inadequate systematic support.’

Penny World is an exhibition spanning the last 30 years of work by London artist and poet Penny Goring. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition in a public institution and includes a selection of art works from her expansive practice. Presented here are vividly coloured paintings and sculptures, self-portraits and drawings, and darkly humorous digital collages and videos. Relentlessly direct, the artist’s poetry is entangled throughout – appearing in titles and stitched onto her fabric sculptures.
