The Unseen pertains to an ethereal realm that exists beneath a shroud of ambiguity and mystery.
The work of obscure painter, writer and occultist Ithell Colquhoun embodies this concept through her preoccupation with the female body in connection to landscape, as well as the communication of divine wisdom through her art practice.
Hayley Theyers, Mary Macgregor-Reid and Kate Rampling seek to commemorate Colquhoun, a female artist who has much insight left to impart on contemporary audiences. Communicating Vessels reiterates the role of the artist as a communicator of ideas whilst demonstrating the connective power of art through time.
