Stories of Memory & Time
The soul of an idea can be portrayed in all its bare truth, yet with so much clarity and complexity that it moves beyond the language of a singular medium and into the realm of multiple disciplines and forms. The proposition to take a medium beyond its form, to challenge the way it is seen and to give it new meaning in portrayal, is what the artists intend for the viewer to experience through their works in this two part exhibition. The mediums become the transparent framework of the construction of ideas as they expand to explore 'A Language of Form'. There is a risk of losing the personal secrecy of a thought, yet, the impetus to share and create, push the artists to explore outcomes through an experimental language of storytelling across mediums. Dreams, questions, concerns, histories, personal stories and propositions are expressed in ways that translate the medium of a thought into a tangible language. Mindfulness in creating these storylines of form have the honest and powerful ability of validating beliefs and uncertainties that allow for artistic scenarios to exist beyond constructed mundane boundaries.
In the first part of the exhibition, five artists use encounters with time as points of departure to create personal experiences through form in the landscapes of memory. Raw and fragile, the stories that come together are new perspectives of the mind's eye waiting to be taken forward as discoveries from a subjective world into an objective one. To think about why we think what we think, and how that impacts existing notions of reality, is one of the ways for the viewer to enter these artists' worlds.
