MK Gallery is the venue for a new exhibition by Cathy Wilkes.
The Belfast born and raised lady has been at the forefront of the British visual arts practice for over a decade now, and visitors to the show will view past creations and new deliveries during its stay here in the new city, which runs right the way through to June 8.

Her aesthetically pleasing work is 'characterised by the creation of a slowly emerging personal vocabulary of sculptures and paintings that the artist makes and re-makes in evolving assemblages and environments.

Her processes are measured and refined, and draw on the most intimate of personal experiences to create a compelling autobiographical thread coupled with a precise and liberated formal language.'

If that last paragraph has got you scratching your bonce in confusion, don't worry – we've been having a good scratch too!

The most simple way to understand her use of random bizarre objects including a jar of Bonne Maman apricot preserve and a Maclaren baby buggy is to cast your eyes across the deliveries.

Or attempt understanding of this: 'The installations are in a state of perpetual change in which repetition relates more to the biological rather than to the industrial...Central to the feminine sphere is the notion of invisible labour, present in all aspects of everyday life yet kept outside of the systems of material and symbolic gratification.'
Like we said then, the simplest way to understand is to go view, and there is plenty of opportunity to do just that.

MK G opens Tuesday-Saturday (10am-5pm) and Sunday (11am-5pm). As ever, admission is free. Make a special journey, or pop in while doing the weekly shop. Go on, art up your life.
