'To the Power of Twelve' comprises an inter-related series of new works making reference to lesser-known histories of the Great War and particular aspects of Mount Stuart’s wartime role. A unifying factor through the exhibition is the number 12, which recurs symbolically in major world religions and across traditions, mythology and superstition. These seemingly contradictory belief systems are reflected, yet happily co-exist, in the eclectic architecture, design and décor of Mount Stuart. Throughout the exhibition some surprising materials of war, necessitated by the return to ancient technologies during times of shortage, are identified; moss as an absorbent antiseptic dressing or nettles spun to replace cotton thread.
