About

Ghost Bird is an exhibition by Barrie Goshko that illuminates both the external stimuli and the inner conversation we use to create our reality. We make up systems that support our personal desires, and service the needs of the societies we form. People tell themselves stories to fill in the blanks. Some choose to believe them, some imagine possibilities that inform their daily practices in metaphorical ways, and others postulate theories and attempt to prove them by physical means and thought experiments. All of these practices stem from a desire to understand and capture a fleeting glimpse of what we cannot quite see. We want to believe there is an underlying framework informing our existence. We want to discover a universal truth that eludes us. These drawings attempt to capture the shadow seen out of the corner of the eye, the images that race from memory on waking, the certainty that something has been experienced before or the notion that something is somehow now different than memory suggests. They envision the universe as an intricately woven affair, full of matter, energy, emptiness, unseen dimensions, portals and entanglements which don’t follow expected paths, and speak to something just beyond our consciousness. Barrie’s practice and repetition of mark-making is a reassurance in a world that feels precarious, an attempt to capture this fleeting glimpse. Drawing is a form of observation. As quantum physics tells us, the simple fact that something is observed can alter its reality. By revisiting imagery, Barrie builds an intimacy with her subjects similar to the manner in which one knows a surrounding landscape as a child. It is both explored and created. Secrets are revealed, but they change depending on how, when and by whom they are discovered. Time and perception may alter our stories and memories, making reality and truth individual. This is our predicament.
