About the exhibition
Through intuitive, tenuously articulated works, the four artists brought together in this exhibition reflect upon how we situate ourselves in relation to various planes of interconnection and existence. Works by Ella Gonzales, David Merritt, Émilie Régnier, and Shanie Tomassini share a preoccupation with exploring the entangled and complex realm of perception between people and their surroundings. Their artistic practices reflect distinctive cultural backgrounds and experiences, yet they are all deeply invested in developing materially-sensitive works that are finely attuned to introspective realms. Taking a deliberate yet poetic approach, the works in Inside. Outside. Of. could be seen as strategies for processing the continuous influx of sensory stimulation that confronts us on a daily basis.
