Arcadia Missa is thrilled to present a solo exhibition by the artist Penny Goring, an installation of sculptural works produced over 2016. The work of Goring is totalising; a scene is created in which the artist materialises many of the figures and tropes found in a prolific output of poetry and drawing published online across many platforms 2009-present. Iterations of Penny and from her psyche: totems and objects of memory, desire, pleasure, hate, fear and lust.
