They Heard Her Voice in the Lapping Waters

There is magic and mystery afloat from the surface of the river to the deep dark sea. The exhibition explores both myth and mystery of these once revered goddesses who fizzled in and crashed out of our collective memory like water lapping the shore

Are you sure that it was seaweed that touched your swimming toes?

Have you ever seen something shimmer in the water?

Do you hear the ripples and rapids sing?
