"Working across textiles and drawing, ๐๐ช๐จ๐ถ๐ณ๐ฆ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ณ๐ฐ๐ถ๐ฏ๐ฅ channels the currencies of gentleness and intimacy to provoke the polemic situations of withdrawn proximities we inhabit. The works, defiantly quiet in a world of powers, compress the scales between immensity and the micro. They draw on the experience of human touch to evoke the phenomenon of surface that it both elucidates and fictionalises. The exhibition casts the audience between a virus-like, orgiastic mass loafing event and a civic safety apparatus that becomes the atmospheric barrier that sustains our life, the sky. The works challenge the image of the body as a container as something that is rather interconnected and fluid, begging us to imagine a continuous surface made from the language and legacies of intimacy. Touch here reads as an allegory for the broader potential of an embrace that is politically implicated within social organisation. The exhibition presents interconnected touch in a world that is at once corrupted by us into persistent barriers and our only hope."
