This exhibition takes its starting point from the slippery state of ‘seeming to be’. Sentiments like ‘nothing as it seems’ or ‘exactly as it seems’ apply to all of the works in the show, sometimes shifting from one to the other with sustained viewing or a change in perspective. These perceptual complexities can apply to the truthfulness in the imagery, the instability of media, enigmatic processes or the precariousness of affect. ‘Seeming to be’ doesn’t indicate truth, or artifice either – it’s a personal response to something nuanced and enigmatic.
