Afterglow

Holly de Moissac 

November 4, 2024 to February 1, 2025  

Holly de Moissac's exhibition Afterglow explores fire as a bringer of struggle and renewal. Afterglow reimagines the staircase as a forest transformed by fire, where smouldering braziers and wisps of smoke are bathed in orange light. Moissac puts forward a call for reconnection, to understand ourselves as part of the wider world, to seek a new relationship with our local ecologies, and to pursue resilience as a skill for the future, "vulnerability is productive, change is desirable and resilience is essential to our collective survival."
