Subcutaneous Retreat combines light-ray excavation (on a light-table) and digital manipulation to create a one-time combination of overlays and depth interactions that aims to suggest the ambiguities and intertwinings of carnal and cerebral experience, under the skin as it were. It explores where flesh merges with thought, tissue with ideas, blood with temperament; simultaneously “being touched” in both the tactile sense and the emotional sense.
Clive Knights (1960) is a US collagist, printmaker and creator of festival structures. He is represented by the gallerist Laura Vincent in Portland. His works are exhibited at solo and group exhibitions.
