Mirror II Nature is an exhibition of 14 artists making work that explores the representation of nature within urban contexts.

A remote controlled cloud by Dawn Shorten patrols the gallery, Meryl Ainslie shows a life-size drawing of an apple tree presented alongside a video projection of the same tree in a gale. May Cornet shows delicately observed silhouettes of seedlings presented in a perspex plant stand. Stuart Mayes builds a forest of chairs on stilts. Maslen & Mehra have created pigeon sculptures titled the Dirty Dozen shown photographed at Trafalgar Square. Alan Bond will show paintings that refer to microscopic or cosmic structures. Ryan Durrant's physical paintings refer to the experience of observation and variation within similar forms. Peter Benson's photographs of ancient museum cases show the futility of attempting to preserve transient beauty. Paul Danks reinterprets Gainsborough in a large triptych. Heather Libson's paintings represent nature seen from a speeding car. Stephen Felmingham searches for sounds in the ether and Jill Townsley constructs bales that are both bucolic and industrial.
