Davis-Thomas

Our gallery practice incorporates our interest in augmenting space, interactivity, materiality, ephemerally, ideas of transference and the participatory nature of the audience. Conceptually underlining this practice is the Sublime and using this concept as a mechanism to create fragmentary moments, subtle ruptures within the viewing experience; an oscillation between optic-centric and sensorial internal experience, questioning the causality with which we perceive place, dimensionality and ones corporeal state.


Our practice and artistic drive is under pinned by our interest in interactivity, the participatory experience of the audience, materiality and ephemerally, as well as expressing ideas of transference and transition, particularly in relation to unnoticed or barely perceivable processes. Our ideas and artworks are intrinsic to location; our practice is driven by a desire to create artworks that have a conceptual relationship to the contextual and spatial nature of the site, whilst remaining firmly embedded in our practice focus.
