Niloufar Salimi’s narrates this behind the scenes video about her exquisite watercolours called “75 Oriole Rd”. Painted over two years, the drawings of the wild apple tree outside of her bedroom window are the focus of our middle gallery September exhibition. Each drawing carefully records the passing of time and the change of seasons. Through delicate line and beautiful touch, we re-live the life and growth of the tree from early spring through winter.
