Concerning the Internal features video, installation, painting and drawing that communicate each artist’s innermost thoughts, experiences or desires.

Broader narratives about shared human experiences are counter-balanced by intimate, personal stories. What brings the work together is its ability to draw the viewer into a reflective space, and allow insights into the artists’ most personal concerns.
