Entitled “Alpha – A Question of Answers”, the exhibition features new works by Derek which are his creative response to attending an Alpha Course run over 12 weeks at the Brown Trout Golf and Country Club Inn, Aghadowey in 2012.

The Alpha Course is a series of interactive sessions that freely explore the basics of the Christian Faith, sometimes under the banner: Got Questions? - Try Alpha. Within the exhibition there are a range of sculptures made mostly from wood.
