Nephelococcygia: the act of seeking and finding shapes in clouds
Preview Evening tomorrow, Friday 7th October at 7pm at Gallery 116 in Stoke
For this exhibition, Bret Shah, a Patternologist, born in Stoke-on-Trent, has photographed clouds and added reflective symmetry as a way to cause the psychological phenomenon of pareidolia, where the viewer perceives a familiar pattern of something wh…ere none actually exists. Viewers are invited to take part in a game of Nephelococcygia, the act of seeking and finding shapes in clouds, and to consider what is revealed about their own state of mind.
