Studio10 presents The Holiday Show, an exhibition of work by Mike Ballou and Matt Freedman. At this, the darkest time of year, Studio10 has undergone a transformation to become a holiday grotto illuminated only by the silver half-light of stars on glittering treasure boxes. Creatures of questionable birth wander over the snow drifted floors and mysterious mumblings and squeaks come from all corners. Sharpen your senses. You tread on dreams.
