This exhibition will be held over the winter solstice, the shortest day of the year for the sun. The works in the exhibition, entitled "Take a Yoke, Praise the Polar Night," use symbols to help people survive the cold winter months. Animals and plants such as sheep, deer and holly have meaning under certain conditions, sometimes as a wish, sometimes as an object of faith. They suggest that the creatures have a role as "sacrifice" as well as each wish. We hope you will confront the works on display during this special period and imagine the intentions behind them.
