There is a moment within the creative process where a single click can almost be heard in the creative’s mind. Call it things falling into place, or coming together, or a switch getting flipped. Something previously unrealized and cloudy becomes crystal clear. An answer to a flurry of loud questions appears and the artist can, at long last, move forward.

The divergent works in this exhibition display the result of ideas and questions clicking into place. Heard only by the artist and in a dialect that only the artist could interpret, for the artist was the one who asked the original question. The works explore challenging points in our present time – struggling to lock down exact answers to questions we all have about our future.

Not nearly low-hanging fruit but fruit all the more: at times out of reach, at times tough to digest, at times bitter flavors among exciting moments of aesthetic sweetness.
