Throughout this exhibit we challenge you to see the differences within the similarities on the canvas. Embrace the tension. Listen. Let them move you. The words below are from the artist’s describing their work. Mixed together, not in any particular order, these words, in the language of the canvas, will speak to you when you feel them.
