Deborah-Joyce Holman works with video, installations sculpture with a focus on writing as part of the creative practice. The artist is interested in how language builds identity and they question issues around authorship. For the exhibition Spill I-III, the film has been shot almost entirely in Sicily and presented in a three-channel video. Through a free association of images on the screens (including lava rocks, flowing water and two mouths kissing), the viewer experiences a visual poem that draws on the theories of the poet and philosopher Édouard Glissant: a profound reflection on colonialism and slavery, but also a powerful vision of a world in which cultural diversity flourishes and the relationship between people and places, human and non-human beings, visible and invisible forces, air, water, fire and vegetation is constantly activated.
