Our ancestors often relied on their beliefs to make sense of their world - is there an equivalent in our modern world of celebrity and material culture?
Later-Day Saints brings the medieval cult of saints into the contemporary world, offering a snapshot of modern life with a hint of humour.
Local artist Alan Birch draws inspiration from objects of popular fascination and obsession, including Kindles, pit bulls and the Olympic torch, to present a print series of contemporary saints.
