Tadpoles, bees and eggs are just some of the materials used in an attempt to capture and explode the mundane in this all-female show at Transition Gallery. Taking the Sex Pistols' "Pretty Vacant" as its theme, Nina Ogden, Keara Stewart and Rachel Potts' exhibition is unashamedly nihilistic, but ultimately more wistful than anything Johnny Rotten ever spat out. Devoid of specific parameters, their work seeks to counteract the mainstream, skew perception, and indulge in the fantastic and the unknown that can be uncovered beneath the humdrum routine of everyday life. Their DIY Punk approach reveals a rejection of commercial values, emphasising, "We don't care".
