Monabri House

We would like to extend our deepest thanks and gratitude to all those who supported us with our exhibition held at Exeter Castle between 25th June and 4th July 2010, and especially to all those who donated monies and attended the exhibition.

In all £1,250 was raised and donated to Monabri House on 12th August 2010, which is a veterans residence supported by the Exeter Royal British Legion. The monies will be used as a fund for art materials for personal fulfillment and greater visual arts learning.

More than 2,300 people attended the Aftermath exhibition, making this donation possible, along with creating a most wonderful and heart warming experience. There were over 30 pages of comments that have left us feeling humbled by the public response received, and touched by those who shared their own experiences with us.

We would like to share with you a beautiful poem written by one of our visitors,

Marcus Wylie.

AFTERMATH

The Aftermath of an idea

When broken into consecutive parts

Can sometimes express

Hidden trauma in beautiful images

And I wonder

What trauma brought forth this art

So that we may understand

And Combat it
