This exhibition examines systems of power, material desire, and the unstable construction of value and ownership.
Working from direct observation, Cecil-Wishing builds each painting through an accumulative process, rendering forms sequentially without preparatory sketches or photographic reference. Fish—sourced from local markets and painted from life—serve as both subject and structure, suspended between still life and allegory. Drawing on the material language of Dutch and Flemish painting, the works unfold as dense, shifting fields where hierarchy, exchange, and control remain in flux.
