Layla Rudneva-Mackay’s practice moves through painting, photography, sound and text, drawn into the ways bodies and language can be read and understood. I roll shows what it is to come into the light after darkness, what it is to be able to see again – not new things, but the already-there between self and others, unseeable for a time. These paintings are grounded in the joy of what it is to come into a world again, seeing, reconnecting with bodies, environments, beings that surface. The spaces between are full of the devoted strength to want to feel and move towards horizons – to study eye-thoughts that are not still.
