With Before the Looming Shadows, Harriet Davey invites us to dive into her interactive game exhibition ‘Whowle Hearted’. Here we discover one of the living creatures that inhabit the planet Grangor, with its fluid, futuristic allure. Species intermingle, materials mix. Is it water or crystal? Shimmer or biomineral skin? Tail or armour? Typical of the androgynous otherworldly avatars created by Harriet Davey, ‘Before the Looming Shadows’ is an invitation to explore identity fluidity and the boundaries between the physical and virtual.
