In Your Hands
From charms to incantations, objects to installation, drawing to rituals, the written to non-written, In Your Hands deals with the intersections of text & language, oral tradition & rituals within contemporary arts practice. By looking at ways to expand reality through magic & the practices related to it, I am hoping to focus on the material object & the actual existence of these things in our everyday surrounding. In a sense, it is of making visible the invisible relations of things around us, of attempts to make tangible the connections we have to the divine & unseen in an all-rationalised, & often disembodied (digital) world we live in.
