On Sunday 26 October the exhibition Prayers for Peace opens at the lovely Water Street Gallery in Todmorden. I'm fortunate to have a piece for the wall accepted on the theme of Order and Harmony. Laser etched numbers are overlaid with Porcelain shapes to suggest positioning of seeds in a Sunflower head - expressed by numbers, evidenced in Nature, the fabulous Fibonacci sequence.
