From carved sculptural bowls to vibrant prints of dancing figures, still lifes and dreamscapes, the chosen pieces reflect the notion of exploring creativity for enjoyment.

This collaboration with Arnolfini is the first of a three-year programme of working to share the collection with a wider audience.
