In this bold new solo exhibition, Wendy Sharpe unveils a new commission, a massive floor work and immersive labyrinthine Maze and installations. Into the Dark responds to war, the climate crisis, and the decline of truth. It confronts our collective fears and asks whether naming our dread can transform our paralysis into awareness and resistance.
