Towards is pleased to present Material Imaginations, a group exhibition featuring work by Viktor Fordell, Sophia Lapres, Matt Schust, and Maria Trabulo.
Drawing inspiration from Gaston Bachelard’s 1942 text L’eau et les rêves (Water and Dreams), the exhibition brings together a selection of works that use water as a starting point to explore themes of memory, temporality, and transformation.
Uniting the works in Material Imaginations is their engagement with the ephemeral–their attempt to render permanent that which is fundamentally transient. Water—fluid, mutable, and perpetually in motion—resists containment. The works in Material Imaginations grapple with this dichotomy – negotiating the tension between movement and stillness, permanence and dissolution.
