Tracey Solomon | Rattenfänger 

 

09 May – 14 June 2025

Special opening event 5.30pm Friday 09 May

All welcome. Free


Rattenfänger (German for "rat catcher") draws inspiration from the folklore of the Pied Piper, who hypnotised and lured rats to their death. Tracey Solomon delves into the moral tension between the act of exterminating pests and her own compassion as an animal lover.

These works are on scratchboard, a form of direct engraving where dark ink is scratched away to reveal a layer beneath.
