Part of Warrington Contemporary Arts Festival, Echo is a new site-specific installation by Holly Rowan Hesson that explores uncertainty, transience and the gap between purely sensory feeling and experience and more literal, rational thought-based experience and memory. The projection and sculptural work creates dialogues with materials, memory and the physical space, and will be added to throughout the exhibition.
