‘Languages of Apology: Expressing Regret, Accepting Responsibility, Making Restitution, Genuinely Repenting, Questing Forgiveness.’ – “When Sorry Isn’t Enough” – Gary Chapman and Jennifer Thomas.

You might witness the power of women, revel at their complexities, and feel confronted by women’s suffering, repelled by some, in Tyler is drawn to exploring the inner conflicts between the rationality of our intentions as human beings and the irrational universes we nevertheless construct. By manipulating watercolours to create vibrancy, iridescence and emotional depth in his portraits, there is a strong narrative aspect to this work which often captures absurd but layered moments in the unique lived experience of those he paints. Understanding each piece requires an investment of time, body and mind – reflection, discomfort, feeling, positioning and repositioning – a radical form of witnessing that rejects traditional ways of seeing the feminine lived experience.
