WINK WINK playfully hosts a space to navigate these thoughts and experience other lives we may not see or be in allyship with regularly. Sculpture, drawing, mixed media, textile and film are installed through The Whitaker engaging us with work that represents and abstracts identity.
WINK WINK is inspired by an article titled ‘Appearing Differently; Abstraction, Transgressions and Capacities‘ an article by critics David Getsy and William J Simmons.
