Scenes from re- ality, dreams and inner reflections are blended together to bring about a body of work which dissolve the boundaries between different realities. No set medium is assigned, instead the artist allows for the idea to dic- tate which medium best suits it. This includes mainly ceramics (using both local and imported clay), found objects, paintings and photography to men- tion but a few. The resulting body of work, though unique and different to each other, also gives a cohesive view on how different realities shape the art- works produced.Art Academy Gozo 20 MAY Cooking Class & Market Visit in Gozo Maldonado Bistro 18, Mons Luigi Vella Street, Victoria, Gozo Gaulitana: A Festival of Music presents Learn about Maltese cuisine by expe- riencing how it's made from market to table with this shared cooking class in Gozo.
