‘For it is Written’ was presented in September 2018 at the LiTE-HAUS Galerie in Berlin as part of joint exhibition under the title ‘By Which We Unravel: Identity and Nationhood’, together with Mumbai sculptor Menakshi Nihilani. The exhibition followed a residency with the Centre for Sub-structured Loss, Toronto-based foundation for applied grief and bereavement research. This enabled Jonathan Davis to pose questions about the direction of contemporary political discourse and its impact on recent events in British, and the European continent.

Following a residency at Co-Galleries, Berlin, September - December 2019 ‘We All Have a Story’ examined the power of ‘storytellers’ to influence how we think; about lies, the distortion of the meaning of language and how this can lead to the dehumanisation of other people. Ultimately, the title refers to the possibility that every time you behold another human being, it is helpful to consider that every one of us has a story and is on a journey, personal or collective. The moment we begin to understand someone else’s story you can no longer define them as “other”. It can lead to the insight that we are just all “us” after all.
