I seize the sphery harp. I strike the strings.

At the first sound the golden sun arises from the deep...

The echo wakes the moon to unbind her silver locks,

The golden sun bears on my song

And nine bright spheres of harmony rise round the fiery king . . .

WILLIAM BLAKE, ‘Enitharmon Revives with Los’\

“These works are at once clear and mysterious, truthful yet arcane. In their eclecticism of forms, the gathered paintings oscillate between figurative imaginings of leisurely landscapes and idle objects, sonorous distributions of abstract paint, and the human body trapped in liminal spaces between dreamscapes and waking life. Spurred the imaginative power William Blake expressed in his ‘prophetic books’, according to which the texture of dreams was not mere fantasy but an essential part of life, this group of artists address the world of forms that meet at the threshold between the cold light of experience and the wildness of dreams.”
– Matthew James Holman
