National Justice Museum
Included in the Museum entry price

'Stretched to the Limit' is Steel Door Studios' first solo show of a body of work. This series of evocative pieces shines a floodlight on a prison system in crisis. Spiralling overcrowding, ever-decreasing budgets, "a modern-day pandemic of substance abuse" and a rise in self-harm and suicide. The impact of which leaves lasting physical and psychological scars on those incarcerated within its walls.

It is an absolute privilege to have Steel Door Studios display his work at the National Justice Museum, a site historically drenched in injustice and degradation, using its spaces to champion and present the painful lived experiences of such a profoundly talented artist.
