THE NEON HIEROGLYPH / BRITISH ART SHOW 9 / HAYWARD GALLERY TOURING/ ABERDEEN 2021

For British Art Show 9, Shani presents a new instalment of The Neon Hieroglyph (2021), which she describes as a ‘mausoleum for psychedelic witches, a house for ghosts where the gothic and the hallucinatory collide’. This experiential work stems from Shani’s research into ergot, a fungus that grows on various grains, from which LSD is derived.
