Flowering and Fading

Gathering winds echo through the shadowiness of a still and quiet house. The night envelops a dog and human asleep when a sudden gust knocks over a jar of honey. Its thick liquid slowly drips onto the kitchen floor and the boundaries between the imaginative and the real begin to blur. Drawing on surrealism and magical realism, Flowering and Fading resonates with Eradze’s practice in revealing an alien sense of otherness through narratives introduced in the outskirts of human habitation. An uncanny, non-human presence permeates in his works, drawing the viewer into an undefined space that simultaneously intertwines and parallels human experience, leaving one with a sense of expansive anticipation.
