MICHAEL PETRY — THE POOL OF NARCISSUS

Like finding water in the desert, finding true love is a rare and paradisical event. But finding both simultaneously can be disastrous, as Narcissus was to learn. Long fascinated with the intersection of art and eros, Michael Petry brings this cautionary tale to the Joshua Treenial. Petry has had a distinguished career as artist, author, and curator. Recent solo shows include: A Twist in Time, at Pallant House Gallery, Chichester (2016) and In the Realm of the Gods, at the Holburne Museum, Bath 2017/8. Originally from Texas, Petry is now based in London.
