Better Would Installation To Open In Bermuda
Better Would – a collaborative installation by Bermudian artist Kimberley Fisher with photography by Ish Yakub Corday and Blair Raughley Masters – will have an opening reception on January 16, an artist talk on January 22, and a family workshop on February 14.
A spokesperson said, “Better Would is an art installation by Kimberley Fisher, with photography by Ish Yakub Corday and Blair Raughley Masters. The exhibition brings together a body of work developed through a collaborative process first established by Fisher – one that emphasizes exchange, interpretation, and shared authorship. Through this approach, the artists create a unified visual language shaped by multiple voices, challenging traditional ideas of individual authorship both in concept and in material form.
“Fisher, a visual artist, works with Corday, a visual storyteller and writer, and Masters, a photographer, to explore the tensions between care and obligation. The collaboration begins with written texts or photographic direction exchanged between the artists. In response, Fisher creates cyanotype collages that reflect practices and rituals of care, presenting care as both a personal experience and a relationship between people.
“Designed as an installation, Better Would unfolds across the gallery as a spatial experience rather than a linear presentation of works. Viewers are invited to move through the space with intention, encouraged to take moments of pause, reflection, and redirection.
“Kimberley Fisher is a Bermudian visual artist whose practice explores the intersection of art materialism and installation through an ecological framework. Her work is shaped by material agency and spatial experience. Fisher works with fibres, printmaking, and sculptural processes, examining how materials shaped by land, time, and use carry meaning.
“Her work has been featured in the Butterfield Gallery at the Masterworks Museum of Bermuda Art [The Living Loom, 2025], in MENTALLY [ILL]WELL with Ish Yakub Corday [2025], in the group show Heritage Month Artist Takeover at Paradise Mobile [2025], and in the Members’ Group Show Portals at the Bermuda Society of Art [2024]. She was an artist-in-residence at Estudio Corazón at Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu, New Mexico [2025].
“Ish Yakub Corday is a Bangladeshi-Canadian, born and raised in Dubai, United Arab Emirates and living in Bermuda for the last 12 years.
“Throughout her life of experiencing different cultures, she has explored what belonging and identity mean to her. As a visual storyteller, the concepts of belonging and identity continue to inform her work as she seeks out what these themes mean in the world around her, through her own perspective and through others’ perspectives.
“She is currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Photojournalism and Documentary Photography at the London College of Communication.
“Blair Raughley Masters is a multidisciplinary artist working in photography and ceramics. She received a BFA in Art and Design with a focus in photography and sculpture in 2012 from Frostburg State University.
“Her passion for the visual arts evolved into a professional career after relocating to Los Angeles in 2012, where she worked with the Associated Press for a decade as both an editor and photographer. During this time, Masters maintained a dedicated ceramics practice, deepening her connection with materiality and fine art traditions through pottery.
“Now based in Bermuda, Masters continues to work professionally in both photography and ceramics. In her creative practice, her photography is rooted in playful experimentation, prioritizing expression and feeling, creating images that are soft, ethereal, and evocative. With unconventional techniques like shooting through layers of material and textures, or a detached lens, she welcomes light leaks, smudges, and distortions into the process – images that blur, smear, and shift, gently unsettling perception and opening up new ways of thinking about how a photograph can be made.”
