Portal

At the edge of becoming.

Curatorial Statement

There is no singular narrative here. Instead, the exhibition invites viewers to consider the multiplicity of perspectives and processes that define a portal — seeking visual tension and instability rather than answers, and celebrating experimentation across diverse approaches. — Douglas Stockdale, June 2026
