“The glowing works in this exhibition portray isolated figures and pairs of two. Some move through strange light in solitude, resting among elongated and distorted shadows. Others exist in intimate company as duos, bathing in pattern, sharing a secret, or sharing a name. Some feel lost in daydreams or trapped in time. And still others confront the viewer directly in courageous acts of honesty and reclamation… The impulse towards luminescence in these works feels terrestrial and fertile, as if artists are being drawn back to the natural world. And at the same time, as light erupts into neon and otherworldly settings, these works begin to feel unnatural, uncanny, and even unsettling, a tension which mirrors that of our contemporary moment… Through sensitive and varied use of light, each artist confronts isolation with tenderness and hope. They remind us of our connection to ourselves, to one another, and to the earth. In doing so, they remind us of the resilience of the human spirit.”
