We discuss the notion of quiet, how it is dismissed in our culture, and how the artist not only embraces it but also almost magically creates it through mixed media paintings and drawings. A simple setting eliciting mindful dreaming and sheer presence.
The exhibition was curated by Amy Emmerson Martin (assistant curator) and Nathan Ladd (curator).
