Bringing together works by Carwyn Evans, Fiona Curran, Hannah James, Jo Addison, Jo Coupe, Leo Fitzmaurice, Littlewhitehead, Sean Edwards, Tom Godfrey and Tom Ireland alongside Hunt’s own, these exhibitions seek to question the highly crafted time consuming pursuit of making art via a conglomeration of objects and artefacts created with ease.
