Convergent brings together four distinct female voices whose work places the emotional, the personal and the embodied at the forefront of their practices. Each artist delves into deeply intimate and emotional landscapes, their work reflecting both individual and collective identities.

The artists are united by their use of contemporary art forms to explore and express their personal and emotional lives – a subject matter historically dismissed in favour of more rational or intellectual approaches. By focusing on their personal experiences, they invite us to see art not as something distant or detached, but as a way to connect.

Isabell Heiss delves into the nuances of memory, loss, and identity, while Grace Fayrer explores the subtlety of boundaries through evocative sculptures. Emily-Sarah Boldeman’s drawings blur the line between personal and collective emotions, and Shanti Des Fours activates spirituality in the face of global crises.
