The first Exhibition was curated and organised by Matthew Fall McKenzie, and featured more than fifty works by seven artists. The mediums used encompassed acrylic and oil painting, drawing, sculpture in plaster and bronze, printmaking, and textiles. Poems were written by Columba and displayed alongside painted works, and patrons were able to listen to an audio recording of said poetry on headphones.

COLUMBA
ATALANTA
Nakedness on black earth
Bearing swaying dead
The bewildered beast.
Glistening eyes without a veil,
Glittering blood on the western pale:
A virgin star in the east.
Written to accompany The Great Hog Hunt
ATALANTA
PHINEAS
He who’d think on Phineas, would surely ask
The reason why, if swinging by the Boreads
Could wing their way, within a day
To set the Harpies reeling,
Phineas should never think to
Up and steal from stealing?
I fear, alas, that Phineas,
Grown fond of his condition,
Came to rue the Argo’s crew
And Jason’s gold ambition.
Written to accompany The Feast of Phineus
