Inspired by the lush local hedgerows, Torbay’s rich Agatha Christie heritage, and the historic gardens of Torre Abbey, Poison Garden: Healing or Deadly brings together new works from the Artizan Collective Studio Artists.
This multi-disciplinary exhibition explores the intriguing duality of the plant world—examining flora as both life-saving medicine and lethal toxin. Through a varied display of paintings, ceramics, printmaking, photography, and sculptural installations, the artists invite visitors into a cultivated space where beauty meets quiet unease and nature’s raw power takes centre stage.
