Five early-career artists formed a consonant cluster in this show of newly commissioned work. Touching on themes of anxiety and isolation, memory and dreams, monsters and magic, Mmmmm set out to amplify the intimate murmurs of drawing-based practices.
Developed over a year coloured distinctly by confinement and self-preservation, many of the works in the show demonstrated the means of coping offered by the usually solitary act of drawing. Presented together, a companionship or resonance of thought emerged: ideas of interiority and exteriority; dreamlike narratives and expansions of subconscious worlds; ambiguous shifts between reality and imagination, and soft tumbles into the vastness of hibernation and slumber.
