Detail: The practice of fire walking, long considered a test-of-faith, with ritualistic and otherworldly implications, is in practice simply the meeting of two bodies, at two independent temperatures, which will both be altered due to their physical connection. Diaspora, a term once inextricably linked with exile, loss and forced dislocation is merely fire walking on a cultural plane though it is in both cases the first step, which is most painful.
Each artist represented in the exhibition "Fire Walkers" reveals through their individual work a strength, and an unfaltering direction which allows them to broach issues of such overarching complexity and infinite delicacy that we felt no better term than 'Firewalkers' would be an appropriate metaphor for their collective practices.
