<\/a>These illustrations are taken from a children’s picture book story written by local couple Jim & Laura Lavery, \u2018Where is Sleep?\u2019.\u00a0 The story is about a little girl who is told to \u2018go to sleep\u2019 but she doesn\u2019t know where it is or how to find it. Her adventures lead her to new ways of thinking about sleep. The story grew from their young daughter\u2019s struggle with sleep.<\/p>\nUntil 27 July, Exhibition: Brian Desmond Hurst<\/h1>\n
