State of Flux Gallery
This exhibition presents drawings and drafts from the process of writing our graphic novel of the same name. A Rift in the Valley follows Oliver and Basil, two second-generation mixed-Chinese misfits, as they plot their swan song over the course of a last week together - an intervention at the local gallery where they work.
