Murtha's Elswick photography paired with new work by Kuba Ryniewicz

3/5 from 1 rating

"It is a worthwhile endeavour, searching for a contemporary conversation for Murtha's work, but Close to Home feels quite far off the mark. That Murtha and Ryniewicz are outstanding photographers is indisputable; that they cohere effectively in this exhibition is less convincing."
