The group exhibition Advective Motion, Nebulous Currents takes obfuscation as its focus, with narratives dissolved behind fog, distorted, streaked, rippled and pixelated in transformative actions, or softened to blurs. Here, in sculptures, photographs, prints and textiles, the rigidity of an articulated image dissipates and reality becomes malleable - undefinable and fleeting. As compositions meld in on themselves, perception reconfigures to scenes dreamlike and surreal, with afterimages, reverberations and ambient fluidity reflecting the ambiguities of modern existence.
