Lewis is fascinated by what we are and are not permitted to know during our time here on earth. The perceived power and control that we gain by acquired, or “permitted”, knowledge is swiftly and humbly brought to its knees when we are faced with the unknowable, the most daunting of which is the how and when of our and our loved ones’ mortality. The ways that we argue with, surrender to, distract, and bargain with these itchy unknowns is at the heart of Lewis’ current work.
