Working in a variety of media, Hannah Riley toys with the idea of transmuted boundary lines, both physical and social. From a chorus of decomposing rabbits who cavort across the wall, to the slow melting of a popsicle dripping sugary puddles from the clutches of a fur stole, Riley's subjects span a full spectrum - from morbid and mundane to amusing.
Presented alongside Heather Straka Do Not Resuscitate . With strong macabre overtones Straka and Riley's works explore the seductive and sometimes humorous possibilities of the abject.
