The World of Glass presents a new solo exhibition by Nancy Collantine. Nancy brings a fresh display of contemporary painting with fantastic processes. The window metaphor is insightful and is especially relevant in recent times.

Turning from cool northern light as pale and tender abstractions, to an interior world of exuberance and imagination, the exhibition presents a series of chapters in a body of work produced over twelve months in 2020-21 in the artist’s studio on the fifth floor a former textile mill that looks out onto Manchester on the horizon.
