Hexagonally exhibition showcases six artists, each forming one side of this shape. The hexagon is found throughout nature, architecture and modern technology. It speaks of compact strength, unity and connection. Social distancing rules have meant that individuals stood equally apart, form a repeating hexagon. The hexagon brings together these artists under current global conditions and is a mark of resilience.
