Lee Joanzzie, Something emerald, something ephemeral, 2023. Courtesy of the artist.
When a projectile moves fast enough to deflect off a surface, a ricochet takes place. A target an artist aims for and strikes can result in consequential returns – a different outcome may emerge from what was intended, but one can find new meaning in such developments and divergences. As artists, we respond and reflect; as we create, we inevitably contemplate.
Likewise in our psyche, electric ideas skip across neurons, clashing and merging in a violent dance of thought. Yet it is this process that leads to moments of clarity, as we glean new knowledge and realisations that aid our art-making process. And so, with this exhibition, the act of self-reflection becomes manifest as these artists allow us to witness a glimpse into meditations on the past and present, of failures and triumphs –the coming together of internal ricochets.
