Fruits Of My Woman
23 May to 7 June, 2026
Lower Hewood Farm, Somerset
Inspired by Han Kang’s short story The Fruit of My Woman, in which a woman gradually transitions into plant life, the exhibition brings together literature, symbolic inquiry and the vegetal life of the land.
Curated in conversation with the Lower Hewood Farm Collection, it explores transformation as an inner necessity: a form of resistance, rewilding and gradual opening towards other ways of being.
A printed booklet accompanies the exhibition featuring a new essay by Simon Grant.

May 20 - June 19, 2022
Arusha Gallery, The Old Silk Barn, Bruton

An essay by Marinna Dacci accompanies the exhibition.
