Kate Walters in Bathing Nervous Limbs at Arusha Gallery, Edinburgh

NSA member Kate Walters is currently taking part in the exhibition Bathing Nervous Limbs at Arusha Gallery, Edinburgh. The starting point for this group show, which includes the work of more than 20 contemporary artists, many of them recent graduates, is the Balneum, an illustrated manuscript from the early 15th century about the therapeutic benefits of different bodies of water. In a review of the show, Susan Mansfield writes:

The show is a mixture of new work made in response to ideas in the Balneum and existing work on relevant themes……Kate Walters’ mystical evocation of baptism is one of the best works here.
