Better Would | January 16, 2026 – February 28, 2026
Better Would is an art installation by Kimberley Fisher with photography by Ish Yakub Corday and Blair Raughley Masters. This exhibition is a body of work that expands a way of making initiated by Kimberley Fisher; one that relies on transmission and translation in the creation of a singular, yet multi-authored visual language. This process of making challenges the notion of solo authorship, materially and conceptually, through the collaging of ideas, material, and production.
Fisher, a visual artist, is working with Yakub Corday, a visual storyteller and writer, and Masters, a photographer, to explore the tensions between caring – for self, and others – and obligation. Initiated either by written passage or photographic creative direction with her collaborators, Fisher generates cyanotype collages that respond to practices, to performances, to the ritual, of care.

About the Artists:
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.
