Art & The Gordon Museum

New exhibition of works by Annabel Merrett

Temporary new exhibition of works by Annabel Merrett on display in the Gordon Museum until Monday 30th September 2025. Annabel Merrett’s current exhibition at this unique museum contains six sculptures from her Mood States collection. This collection consists of sculpted, life-sized heads, each portraying a certain mood. The titles give clues: Power, Green Envy, Labels We Hold, Joy Above, Rogue Rouge, and Decision. Curator William Edwards has placed her sculptures randomly throughout the specimens. Provoking surprise and thought, at the very least.
