"No man is an island, Entire of itself, Every man is a piece of the continent, A part of the main… Any man’s death diminishes me, Because I am involved in mankind…" – John Donne
Jason deCaires Taylor’s pieces sees the other in his underwater sculptures – proposing human figures in ecosystems where they couldn’t naturally exist. The reflective nature of deCaires’ sculptures allow us the opportunity to other ourselves in the distorted reflections. Suelin Low Chew Tung manifests the experience with the other as the invading force of cancer on her body. Microscopic foreigners can also alter the course of human life and contribute to their discourse. Frederika Adam contemplates natural forms through photographs of plants. The seductive nature of plants and the idea that they are showing us something important; mystical even, is a reminder that we are not the dominant life force on this planet. Alma Fakhre’s work expresses the other through the filter of human experience. Intangible poetic forces that are summarily called “love” or “the universe” deceptively conceal the intricate and complex nature of our experience of reality. The work by Benaiah Matheson explore identity and place through intuitive mark-making between two very specifically disparate places – Carriacou, a sister island to Grenada, and Huddersfield, England. Benaiah’s physical movement between these places as well as the reflection of his own self identity through this discourse.
