Ms Rogers recent work experiments with the juxtaposition of multiple images from different times and places in order to create an enigmatic narrative.

Upper Gallery : Douglas Navara, Drawings Palimpsest. Mr. Navarra's drawings assert a that it is not only what the artist brings to a work that matters, but that the drawing surface itself is of equal importance.
