Belladonna

At the recent Artist and Scientist talk at Culture at Work, I met Beth Josey. She's a friend of a friend, a scientist who works in heart research and an artist. Her latest exhibition, at Hardware Gallery in Marrickville, Sydney, is great.

Stark black and white linocut prints of normally colourful subjects such as Easter lilies and redback spiders explore the counterintuitive relationship between beauty and toxicity. Really worth checking out.
