GROUP EXHIBITION

‘The land and the sea are not separate places, but edges of the same world, where the sky bends low to listen.’ - Rudyard Kipling, The Sea and the Hills

This exhibition brings together artists who engage with the thresholds between the elemental and the self; Karla Nixon, Amy Rusch, Kate Schärf and Klaré van Heerden (here, her ocean scenes follow under the name, KVMH). Each artist engages with the liminal, proposing the horizon line as both metaphor and intangible site, a conceptual terrain which grapples with the impossibility of definition. By way of viewing, the horizon is known but never reached.

In this in-between, nature becomes disjointed from linear time and fixed place. Rather, it stands as a site of emotional cartography, and a locus of ritual and transformation. The sea, in particular, is not only a geographic expanse but a psychic one, carrying with it histories, silences, and the possibilities of renewal.

Across diverse media, the artists point to the uncontainable and awe-inspiring, whilst holding space for the dissonance of the in-between, inviting viewers to inhabit the threshold.
