​The Portrait Within was the second show, and first in House II, featuring 35 UK and international artists.

 

We all have an outward self/selves, the one(s) that we present to the many worlds we inhabit: external manifestations of life experiences, influences that have surrounded us to this moment, and as a result of choices that we have made. But how do we really view ourselves?  This isn’t a true portrait show nor a question of identity but rather about the hidden self.​​
