With profound sadness, we announce the death of our dear colleague, Lorna O’Brien, Deputy Director of Wysing Arts Centre. 

Lorna died peacefully on Sunday, 8 December, surrounded by her family and much love, after receiving a cancer diagnosis in the autumn of this year. 

During her time at Wysing, Lorna brought compassion, humour, wisdom and thoughtfulness to everything she did, with a particular focus on disability and environmental justice. Her warm, calm presence will be deeply missed by all who knew her. 

Instead of flowers, Lorna’s family invite you to make a donation to the Arthur Rank Hospice. You can find a link to donate here.

If you would like to send a card to Lorna’s family, please send it to Wysing Arts Centre and we will forward to them.

Alexis Parinas
There are so many seeds, so many stars (2024)
​10 September 2024 - 7 September 2025

There are so many seeds, so many stars is a new commission by Alexis Parinas, an artist working across moving image, printing, painting and installation. It was developed in collaboration with 230, Year 7 students from St Peter’s School, Huntington. Combining the students’ interest in film and storytelling, Parinas worked with them in 18 workshops, across an academic year.  They were invited to create new worlds together through storytelling before translating them into vivid, kaleidoscopic moving images by applying felt tips directly onto 35mm film.
