The title suggests the existence of something veiled or hidden in the vast sky, its resonance resting upon its power to provoke a curious mind’s tendency to imagine what lies beneath a visible surface, or what lurks beyond the known world. With it comes the promise of discovery: a possible revelation once obstruction clears and covers open up. Such play on the phrase “behind the clouds”offers a wealth of significations that works on multiple levels of associations, weaving the various pieces gathered for this exhibition together, and ultimately highlighting the creative potential of exploring the links between language, imagery and symbolism.
