Filter combines the work of nine artists from different backgrounds who blend materials, techniques and conceptual frameworks that challenge the boundaries of artistic expression and reflect both the literal and metaphorical aspects of mixed media art. Each artist explores the constraints and possibilities of media, form and meaning and invites the viewer to engage with the tangible materiality of each work. Crossing the conventional boundaries of their chosen media, combining ideas in unique ways to create multifaceted works in inventive and unexpected ways. Filter invites the viewer to consider their understanding of ‘mixed media’, pushing them to examine how materiality and meaning intersect. The exhibition explores concepts of identity, connection, nature and landscape, brought together with a combination of painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, ceramics, textiles and printmaking. By layering visual and narrative elements, these works challenge viewers to interpret and engage with the multifaceted themes.
