‘The Decoration of Absence | Traces of a Silent North’ at the Flowerfield Arts Centre, Portstewart features photographs by James Hughes of Northern Irish interiors and objects. Hughes uses these to seek an understanding of the recent past, reflecting on loss, cherished lives and the faith and hope that have nurtured human experience. In ‘The Sea We Share’, book illustrators Czacarri Muli, EM Emerson and Corinna Askin create a magical world across the gallery space, filled with mythical selkies and mermaids.
