The Nothing explores realms of the unknown and potentially unknowable aspects of human understanding – the things that we can’t fully comprehend or for which words and recognisable forms simply do not exist.

The exhibition’s title, The Nothing, is taken from the childhood fable The Neverending Story, wherein an indescribable ‘emptiness’ pervades Fantascia (the mythical land in which the story takes place), chronicling the ‘gap’ between islands of human knowledge and understanding.

The Nothing addresses liminal spaces, transposing and transforming materials from the familiar to the foreign in order to explore themes of uncertainty and crisis.
