At the heart of this exhibition is the idea that secrets are not signs of weakness, but evidence of survival - stories held back, swallowed, protected, or carried in silence. Through painting, print, and installation, Margo invites visitors into an environment where confession becomes a form of release and solidarity.
A central confession box anchors the exhibition, offering audiences the chance to contribute anonymously to the emotional landscape of the show. These unseen voices sit alongside Margo’s new large-scale canvases and screen prints, works that balance vulnerability with defiance. A striking black-and-white classical room creates a moment of visual and psychological stillness - a space that feels at once sacred and theatrical, echoing both chapel and stage, as though every visitor is stepping into a scene where truth hovers just beneath the surface.
The exhibition unfolds in Margate, a town whose own story mirrors the themes of the work. Once dismissed, neglected, and written off, Margate is now being rebuilt through creativity, independence, and cultural resilience - one studio, one gallery, one act of belief at a time. In this context, Sisters with Secrets becomes not just a personal or female narrative, but a civic one: about what is hidden, what is healed, and what happens when voices return to spaces that were once abandoned.
Margo’s practice also extends beyond the gallery walls. Through the linked project 'Love Shouldn’t Hurt', supporting domestic violence services, the exhibition connects private experience with public action - reminding us that behind many secrets are structures of silence that art can help to challenge.
