Geminate by Leah Hewson
Niall MacMonagle
Sugar and spice and all things nice? Pink for a girl and blue for a boy? Huh. Cliches and stereotypes are sometimes questioned, sometimes exploded. They need to be. Thinking outside the box is what artists do all the time, and in this recent work by Leah Hewson she challenges us to look again at girlhood, personality, differences, expectations and presumptions.
