Beyond My Forehead, a Star – Astrocytoma Diary Exhibition
Monday 24th to Friday 28th June 2024
10.00am - 5.00pm, free entry
Solo art exhibition of illustrations and montages by Pirko Edes
“In the spring of 2022, at the age of 31, my life took an unexpected turn with the sudden diagnosis of a stage two astrocytoma brain tumour.
To visually document this transformative journey, I’m creating a series of artworks. Each piece will feature a central illustration, figurative yet abstract to convey the emotional depth of my experiences. Alongside each illustration, there will be a corresponding “montage.”
This two-part approach allows viewers to explore the theme from multiple perspectives. The illustrations provide a glimpse into the emotional landscape, while the montages offer concrete details and facts through text, photos, and objects. This creates a richer, more layered experience, a visual conversation, ultimately offering a deeper understanding of my journey.
Driven by a desire to share this experience, I’m working towards organising an exhibition of these artworks.“

Exhibition launch: Monday 24th June (6pm – 8pm), with a performance of the Castle Choir.
