Daisy Parris: I See You In Everyone I Love
Poetry has the capacity - to quote Adrienne Rich - 'to play around with the notion that day might be night, love might be hate; nothing can be too sacred for the imagination to turn into opposite or to call experimentally by another name. For writing is renaming." There is a poetic tension at the heart of Daisy Parris' work: both viscerally raw and intuitively emotive, it dwells between experience and language, the unknown and known. This poetics of individual and collective experience is tenderly executed in Parris' solo show I see you in everyone I love, where the loss of another transforms into a gesture of tactical hope.
Parris does not shy away from leaning into the complexity and difficulties of the past and present and how they float together and intersect. Even the titles of the works explore these memories of relationality: ' A Storm Inside You'; 'Sorry Three Times' and 'A Storm the Night You Went' each the ebbing and flowing of feelings and time. These linguistic gestures create the complex web of abstract yearning, tenderness, and starkness, all of which are woven within these abstractions of alchemy through the prism of mourning.
