Leaving Deep Water features five artists whose works explore the metaphoric significance of water through its materiality, form, space and temperament: John Dickson [Toronto], Siassie Kenneally [Cape Dorset], Fay Ku [New York], Toby Millman [Miami / Ramalla] and Jun Nguyen-Hatsushiba [Ho Chi Minh City / Dallas]. These artists’ highly personalized imagined waters traverse the multiple and complex sites of history, culture, memory and identity. Their formal narratives reflect heightened sensorial and sensual dualities—of darkness and light, of visibility and invisibility, and of death and life.
