This exhibition by Daniel John Pilkington explores the idea that language is magical. If language can cause changes in the world, then it has both the power to heal and the power to wound. Drawing upon the tradition of magical squares and apotropaic spells, the artist has created a series of works that explore the idea of wielding this ambivalent power.
