In Terms of Endearment at Support Gallery in London, Ontario, curator Lillian O’Brien Davis’s third collaboration with artists Katie Lyle and Ella Dawn McGeough, artworks respond to how touch and its material and phenomenological effects might be recognized and embodied through gestures of interference, imprint, and re-inscription. These gestures consider O’Brien Davis’s framework of touch as an event of displacement within the body, the self, and the artwork. She frames this conception in part within Anne Carson’s intratextual exploration of decreation, a writerly method of recounting heightened states of spiritual, emotional, and physical self-undoing in which internal and external forces transform and decentre an autonomous sense of self.
