Aidon Westcott’s exhibition of small densely layered and beautifully crafted mixed media works can be viewed on two levels. The first is a purely aesthetic response to stunning objects. The second, which requires some time spent viewing the work leaves one in almost a meditative state.
L. P. Hartley said ‘The past is a foreign country and they do things differently there.’ I would add that it is time to renew our passports.
Westcott’s layers of ephemera evoke so many pasts and multiverses and the fish symbol floats serenely through them all linking them and us to a collective consciousness.
