Today's throwback look at our 2016 exhibition of prints and sculptural works by artist Jamie Davidson titled 'Knowing not knowing'.⁠
⁠
Drawing on a three month period of research in Japan, this body of new work developed visual themes explored in Jamie’s previous solo show. The installation of prints and sculpture reflect a simplicity of form and sensitivity to material seen in the traditional architecture and craftsmanship throughout Japan. ⁠
⁠
This is particularly evident in the construction of their temples and gardens where boundaries between interior and exterior gently give way to each other. Here in the shadow between the two spaces, a crossing over, or passing through subtly evokes our own sense of being in the world.⁠
⁠
Starting with a simple shape and by allowing the sculptural work to develop at the same time as the print series knowing not knowing recalls, in abstract form, many aspects of Jamie’s experiences whilst in Japan.⁠
⁠
