Interwoven Realities

The Space Between
There exists a space between what is real and what is imagined, a liminal ground where the personal and the collective intertwine. It is neither one nor the other, but something woven from both—a shifting terrain of memory, dream, and experience. Here, what we perceive as truth dissolves into myth, and what we dismiss as fiction leaves an imprint on our reality.

This is the space of interwoven realities, where the self is never solitary. We move through it carrying echoes of stories told before us, narratives absorbed through time, fragments of past lives that shape our own. Our private thoughts are never entirely ours; they are stitched together from the remnants of culture, history, and whispered voices.

In this space, what we call identity is porous. The boundaries between self and other, then and now, fact and fiction blur, revealing a deeper truth: we are always more than one. Reality itself is a weave of overlapping threads, a tapestry that belongs to no single hand.

In Interwoven Realities, De Souza Gallery´s new online exhibition on Artsy, six contemporary artists—Greg Bryce, Sandi Goodwin, Elizabeth Hefty-Khoury, Aubrey Ramage-Lay, Tina McCallan, and Juan Petry—bring together diverse perspectives through layered approaches to abstraction, symbolism, and storytelling. This online-exclusive exhibition explores the fluid boundaries between the real and the imagined, personal and collective, chaos and order.

Greg Bryce’s bold compositions blur the lines between abstraction and representation, evoking a visceral sensory experience. Sandi Goodwin’s gestural and textured works reveal a delicate tension between control and spontaneity. Elizabeth Hefty-Khoury weaves myth and cultural memory through painting and drawing, reinterpreting ancient symbols for a contemporary audience.

Aubrey Ramage-Lay merges figuration with abstraction, using recurring symbols like birds and snakes to explore transformation and interconnected realities. Tina McCallan’s playful, irreverent abstractions subvert traditional form and color, bringing energy and unexpected connections into her practice. Juan Petry’s conceptual works, deeply influenced by social sculpture, offer a philosophical lens on community and the role of the artist in society.

Together, these artists invite viewers to navigate multiple layers of meaning—revealing the hidden and the unspoken, offering glimpses into shared experiences and unseen worlds.
