The Weather Was Inside partly takes its point of departure from long-running conversations between three artists, Katie Deith, Helen Maurer and Sarah Woodfine. Although the trio’s’ work shares, at first sight, little in common, they have all exhibited at Danielle Arnaud in the past, and have held many conversations through which it became apparent that despite obvious differences with respect to their actual works, they shared a number of mutual interests and ideas. Predominant among these is a strong, persistent relation to “the real”, a deep appreciation of, and sophisticated engagement with “nature” and “the natural”. But nature is today regarded as a complex, contradictory entity or “thing”; to use an expression from Sarah Woodfine, “the nature of nature” is no longer straightforwardly secure.
