"The Devil is in the Details" is an idiom that refers to a catch or mysterious element hidden in the details, meaning that something might seem simple at a first look but will take more time and effort to complete than expected... details are important.
Idiomatic images lose their historical/ economic/ material gravity over time -- that which is hidden is archived in the details. Diana, Paolo, and Marie convey ideas around who they are and what their work represents through material choices often coded in abstraction, using a collage aesthetic. There isn’t direct access into each of the panelists’ identities unless you understand the signifiers engaged or each artist’s visual language—it’s mediated in the work. The details in their work are important, and often the details are sewn. Their work sets a foundation for a conversation around visibility and invisibility.
