Art: Ann Fricker. Design: Jeremy Thornton

In this gallery exhibition we looked for works of art that conveyed a sense of movement and action. Works where either the artist’s gestures were evident or the subject of the work was motion. Art that took our eyes on a journey. Works that had rhythm and dance.
