A lone figure, dwarfed by the immensity of nature, confronted and challenged by the ferocious splendor and magnificence of the surroundings in which s/he is engulfed. This 19th century idea of nature is the point of departure for this exhibition, Regina Acebo, Simone Bailey, Larissa Greer, and Heather Watson use video, sound, photography and drawing examine the relationship between landscape, figure and the representation of experience. Observing whether language has a limited ability to truly represent lived experience, four artists ask whether there is an inherent frustration in representation, questioning what consequences this may have on the principles of making art that is produced in response to the visceral, ineffable nature of feeling. Using the landscape as context, subject and medium, each artist has produced a work for this exhibition that aims to address some of the current implications of presenting or becoming a figure within a landscape.
