SHINE ON | JO HAMILTON
November 7 – December 21, 2025 | A.N. Bush Gallery

My large scale handmade wall works are crocheted from yarn, knot by knot with a small hook. My technique integrates years of drawing and painting with a craft I learned from my Gran during my childhood in Scotland.

BLACK ARCHIVE | NIKESHA BREEZE
BUSH HOUSE MUSEUM AMERICA WALDO BOGLE GALLERY | JULY 2 - OCTOBER 30, 2025

Nikesha Breeze is an international artist working across a diverse range of media whose innovative approach has garnered national and international acclaim. Her practice calls upon ancestral memory and archival resurrection to revive stories long erased from the global narrative, engaging deeply with themes of grief, sanctuary, power and presence, visibility, and erasure.
