Signal Art — Artist Top 5 Pick

Signal Art · A closer reading

Five ways of being received

Artist Top 5 Pick brings recognition and return beside witness to suffering.

Monariza's gaze receives a hidden sorrow; The Morning Let Me In allows a changed person to inhabit the day. Where You Stood reveals a support through its absence, while The Long Way Home makes an embrace larger than an account of what is owed.

The Horse Opened Its Mouth interrupts any easy promise of comfort. Some pain asks to be witnessed without being made harmless. The five works together suggest that being received includes room for what cannot yet be repaired.

A question to carry: What does it mean to receive someone without requiring them to arrive whole?
