CONFUSION IN HER EYES THAT SAYS IT ALL

Confusion in her eyes that says it all brings together three artists who each in turn explore
perceptions of intimacy and communication, deceptive illusion and control. Humble,
everyday materials are transformed, creating new narratives and spaces that draw us in
and make us question the nature of experience. Hereby, the exhibition examines the unique
perspective an individual experiences at a particular moment in time, and the altered
perceptions evoked by an artwork.
In Tamsin Casswell's work, disregarded pieces of fabric are delicately handembroidered
to create intimate repairs and structures that evoke recollected landscapes
and forms. Jennifer Douglas employs a purposefully codified register of materials
exploring the relationships between inherent function and renewed significance and
twisting interpretation. Hans Rosenström's installation invites a sole spectator into a
re-configured space with site-specific audio, in which they themselves become part of a
perplexing narrative.
In Freudian terms, as human beings add, subtract and modify each of life's obstacles in
order to interpret reality, they attempt to balance the unconscious with the conscious. In
the exhibition, each artist controls their environment in a dynamic struggle with the
viewers’ interpretation. The artist's manipulation can therefore be seen as employing
different conscious techniques to alterthe protagonists' perception. We are left with a
resultant spacewheremeanings hover, and outcomes are uncertain.
