MILK AND INK - MAP Exhibition

Work from MAP's recent exhibition at The Mill Arts Centre is now online. The images were created by young people in Bicester, using milk, ink vegetable oil and Photoshop.




The exhibition was one of the most popular yet, maybe even too popular - three images stolen from the Mill during the exhibition...
