A decommissioned phone box has been transformed into a glowing tribute to the art world.
The latest installation, by Isle of Wight artist Mary Flynn, is currently on display at Re:Box, the smallest gallery on the Island, located on Lind Street in Ryde.
Titled How Many Artists Does It Take to Make a Call?, the exhibition features mixed-media portraits of well-known artists and brings Ms Flynn’s signature textile collages to the streets.

Ms Flynn said: "Using upcycled textiles, print making and stitch, the collages I’ve created for the repurposed phone box offer a journey around the art world."
Her work often incorporates recycled materials and found objects which are often salvaged from local beaches.
Re:Box co-founder Zoë Barker said: "Much like the amazing copies of National Gallery paintings hanging in prominent places around Newport, the latest work showcased in Re:Box is a chance to consider art, portraiture and creative processes on the street, near where you live and work."
Re:Box is housed in a classic Kiosk No.6 phone box, purchased by Ryde Town Council for £1 through BT’s Adopt a Kiosk scheme and repurposed into a gallery by artists Anmarie Bowler and Zoë Barker.
