Gallery helps autistic artists turn the corner
April 15 2010

This work is being conducted thanks to the patronage of blind artist Keith Salmon, winner of the 2009 Jolomo prize for outstanding emerging talent.
Amy fashioned the gallery from a rundown retail unit, introducing moveable walls which can be configured to construct varying spaces within the former corner shop.
