You find yourself astray in a dark wood where the straight road is now lost from sight; a rustling in the bushes, a clearing in the distance. What and who will you encounter in this uncharted territory? Twilight Procession, a physical and online group exhibition, muses on the uncanny encounters which exist beyond the pale with a focus on work that is phenomenological, miraculous, and logic-defying. Pushing the limits of their chosen mediums each artist explores new realms through image-making, story-telling, and material mastery. Auto-biographical, bodily, mystical, and visceral the works featured in Twilight Procession, mine the human psyche and blur the line between waking life and the subconscious.
