Intimacy brings together artists who practices align with the personal, the internal and the profound, to create an experience that will stay with the viewer long after they leave the exhibition. With a flood of images available at the swipe of a finger in the modern life of mass media and consumer culture, Intimacy favours form and size, with works that packan emotional punch encouraging audiences to spend time and communion with each work.

[1] The Essenes, also known as ‘the children of light’, were members of a Jewish esoteric, mystical religious sect, that flourished in Palestine from the 2nd century BCE to the 1st century CE. They lived a monastic existence and thoughsome communities were celibate it is known that others were not. However, all espoused poverty, donated their property to the community and adhered to a strict rule of discipline. It is generally believed that the Dead Sea Scrolls found in 1947 in the caves at Khirbet Qumran, constituted a part of theirlibrary, as they were hidden in close proximity to one of their major community centres.
