A Way In, A Way Out investigates the fluid and unstable nature of perception through processes that move between control and chance. Bringing together six photographic works and a site-specific installation, the exhibition explores the shifting relationship between image, material and embodied experience.

The photographic series was developed through close studies of the artist's own body. Bodily surfaces are photographed, enlarged, printed and immersed in water, allowing the photographic emulsion to gradually separate from its paper support. Through this process, the image shifts from a fixed record into a fragile and mutable material, where chance, material transformation and process become active collaborators in the work's formation.

At the centre of the exhibition is Field Study, a large-scale installation comprising of four-sided mirrored boxes that are stacked on top of one another. Through repetition, geometric form and shifts in scale, the work unsettles conventional viewing positions, generating multiple perspectives that unfold simultaneously rather than a singular point of view.

Accompanying the exhibition is an artist book that brings together photographic studies developed during the making of the exhibited works. The publication foregrounds the experimental nature of Davidson's practice, revealing how uncertainty, repetition and failure inform the development of each work. In doing so, it positions artistic practice as a process of discovery shaped as much by unpredictability as by intention.
