Nettie Horn is proud to present The Joy, a show that brings together a collection of artists who relish sensuality, innuendo, the tongue-in-cheek, and in some cases, the outright perverse in creative practice. In the exhibition, these interests manifest themselves through the use of materiality, suggestive meaning and our inclination to humanise inanimate objects. In regards to our relationship with nature, the artists realise our tendency to assimilate successes, failings, or impotencies with fellow creatures, in order to make sense of our most basic instincts. Although there is a playfulness that prevails throughout the exhibition, there is something more important which underlies the show – the acknowledgement that despite our vulnerabilities as human beings, we still hope for fulfilment in other beings or objects, no matter how profound or trivial.
