BEAR

About

And all of a sudden this: A heavy mammal with a slow, awkward gait approaches. There is an unease he holds that pushes down upon him. We wait, listen. This burden is brought forward, though against his conscious will there is a persistence to diverge; turn; sail in a given direction. We try to see what is offered. All the while he must convey a name. Produce. Yield. What haunts us is that something must appear that develops its own life. What he does not realise is that seemingly empty moments harbour strange secrets. He speculates for a fall. BEAR is an exhibition of works by Lucy Conochie and Sarah McNulty.
