Dark and captivating, “Through a glass darkly” alludes to the idea that our understanding of this world will never truly be clear until we reach an end; until that point, we perceive life only through a fogged lens.
A selection of emerging and talented young artists explore and illustrate this idea through the varied disciplines of photography, video, painting, mixed media installation, music and performance art, all situated within the evocative setting of The Crypt Gallery.
Intricate models placed inside the walls of the gallery and beyond the viewer’s grasp speak of our dreamlike perception of reality. Photographs capture fragile and misty moments in forgotten places around England, while delicately painted nebulae and star clusters surrender unnerving truths to the attentive, revealing another dimension to the experience.
With ethereal sound and light bending and traveling throughout the gothic passageways, mysterious narratives painted in classical baroque style ask us to reconsider our initial interpretations and perceptions of this world, as the dawn and dusk of human mortality are explored in provocative physicality.
