Artist Versia Harris’ Upcoming Exhibition At The Brighton Showroom

Artist Versia Harris
As Above, So Below
 is a multi-media installation combining numerous made and found objects to form a fantasy world scape of strange cattle, decapitated heads and inverted faces. Together, under an eerie light these surreal objects form imaginary and physical ‘bodies’ at play with our conscious and subconscious to evoke heaven and earth. Addressing the human condition, identity, land, control, power and hierarchy, Versia says she wishes “to explore the links between conflict, struggle, aggression and beauty, story and triumph”.

Versia Harris gained a BFA in Studio Art in 2012 and MFA at Cranbrook Academy of Art, Michigan USA in 2019. She was awarded a Fulbright Laspau Scholarship in 2017/2018 and the Errol & Nita Barrow Enabling Scholarship Award in 2017. Other Awards include the Mercedes-Benz Financial Services New Beginnings Award in 2019; Best Animated Short Award / Barbados Film and Video Association Festival / 2015 and Best New Media Film Award / Trinidad and Tobago Film Festival / 2014.
