Nurture part of Curatorial Lab from October 17 - 29th 2019 was a group exhibition at Verge Gallery with Danika
Knežević, Jacqueline Larcombe, Rosie Thomas, Simon Cooper, Sabella D’Souza,
Simon Baré, Tamara Voninski, Bernadette Smith and Suzy Faiz. My work in the show emphasises the need for a greater awareness of the non-human world by exploring
the possibility of identification as an engaged subject. Using a macro lens I have photographed
sunlight rays scattering within my studio window pane in the former Callan Park
asylum. In this liminal zone of uncertainty, fleeting
microcosmic diffractions within the heritage glass were recorded as light transformed itself in a process of
disintegration and re-emergence. These light phenomena prompt us to consider a less anthropocentric view of the
universe and a nurturing emphasis on the non-human to counteract the
spectre of human induced climate crisis. More glass refraction photos here
