nathan.bayliss@gmail.com“Not Yet, But Soon” explores the uneasy tension between anticipation and the present moment. The artworks in this exhibition traverse the emotional and psychological topology of waiting – that threshold where the future is imminent, but not quite within reach. This state of ‘almost’ embodies a mix of fear, hope, anxiety, and yearning, offering a space to reflect on the human experience of transition.
This show features works made within the last five years, and reflect the fragility of a highly mediated existence. In these pieces, waiting becomes an act of endurance. A search for meaning. An exploration of what it means to live in a constant state of ‘almost.’ These pieces reflect “the human in the loop” – personal perspectives within highly politicised environments. There has been a rush of pivotal, world changing events over the past five years and yet a recursive theme has arisen: “what comes next?”
“Not Yet, But Soon” is stark. It asks: How do we exist in this space? How do we wait, dream, and confront the uncertain future?
