Emma Webster: Rues and Leaves Themselves Alone presents paintings of landscapes where night is always falling — warped woodland canopies, glowing animals, flying horses, double-headed deer — alongside a video game that wanders through the same dioramas that inspire the paintings. Neither rendering is a perfect representation: one bright and meditative, the other bleak and foreboding. Drawing on cave painting, broken 3D scans, and virtual sculpture, Webster combines and smears different modes of representing space until they vibrate between two, three, and four dimensions — propositions rather than depictions, spaces that cannot quite be understood.
