Erika is really pleased to have been able to contribute to the Exhibition with 'The Closure of HMP Holloway' A2 Print, Postcards from Prison 3 hour slideshow loop, her Platted J-cloth bag and three original paintings of a typical room on D4 landing, the old mother and baby unit that had slightly bigger rooms and was actually furnished with carpet tiles!
