Paper Horses: Women, Witchcraft & Sex

Illustration lecturer Amelia Johnstone will be exhibiting her work at the Material Gallery in London between 16th Sept - 16 Oct 2010.

"Paper Pony forms the basis of Amelia’s latest collection of work in which she takes you to the moon, to laugh a little at the folly of our self obsessed human condition and sits with her friends. Talking, thinking and reflecting on the things which seemed to matter before, but now no longer do. "
