Maria’s fabric installation piece, Inside Me, is being displayed at the Inverness County Centre for the Arts as part of the Structures contemporary fibre art show , opening on Sunday, 27 September 2015 and running through to 18 October. Inside Me, completed in 2009, is a site specific installation which is here free standing in the centre of the gallery, in a way it has never been exhibited before.
