Opening Night: 7 March 2024, 6-9pm

7 - 24 March 2024

This is an exhibition of dreamlands and inner worlds, of representation, symbolism and abstraction. Works by six artists share their subjective and fantastical experiences of worlds as they visualise them. The nature of the triptych form allows multiple perspectives to exist simultaneously in one moment. This trinity shapes the works in the exhibition along with a reference to a much evolved but often quoted line from John Milton's (1608-1674), L'Allegro (1645) "Com, and trip it as ye go, On the light fantastick toe."  To trip the light here is taken as to dance lightly through the world. In the exhibition, the relationship of image and form to sound, rhythm and movement is used as a playful foil to consider the borderlands of external to internal, the place where the body encounters it's environment and the porousness of this threshold. A lightness of touch, or approach, is achieved by each of the artists as they seek out and celebrate the possibilities of creativity to communicate the invisible or the spiritual.
