Christina Riley’s Opening Exhibiton: In this Book You’ll Find a Recipe

Christina Riley’s Opening Exhibiton: In this Book You’ll Find a Recipe Fri 24th July, 4pm - 8pm Join us at Narture for the final exhibition of our July Blank Canvas resident, artist and writer Christina Riley. Her project, In This Book You’ll Find a Recipe—a title borrowed from Georgia O’Keeffe—combines photography, books, and food to create a collaborative community cookbook. By gathering local recipes, cooking tips, and food memories, the project highlights the vital importance of sharing knowledge during modern climate and cost-of-living crises. Throughout July, Christina has been using Narture’s darkroom to develop photographs while designing and hand-binding her book. The exhibition space will showcase this collaborative cookbook alongside a special curation of The Nature Library, focusing on literature tied to food, agriculture, and the environment. The exhibition launches with an opening night on Friday 24th July, featuring an artist talk with Christina at 6:00 PM. The gallery will remain open for viewing throughout the weekend, on Saturday and Sunday 11am-4pm! MAKE by Narture Studios 30 Newmarket St, Ayr Book In
