Borrowing its title from the elusive Emily Dickinson, this exhibition brings together the diverse work of seven artists. Like her poetry, these works evolve as investigations of self, other and what lies between, exploring issues of isolation, struggle and emotionality. it’s all i have to bring today references an acceptance of weariness and need for self-preservation, challenging notions of contemporary productivity. From varying lived experiences, these artists come together in their search for comfort in discomfort, fullness in absence, strength in vulnerability. Thus, through the manipulation of the material world, they mediate new borders, creating space for stories which are less visible, or those which are simply more quiet in nature.
