From Dan Addington:
Recently, like me, you may have become aware of the fact that you are looking at the same walls in your living space more than ever before. In this time of sheltering in place, we all share the need for the presence of meaningful art to bring new moments of life and meaning to our environment. We often look to the arts in their many forms to provide renewal and hope. This exhibition is a special expression of this calling that artists possess and answer for our benefit. The artists featured in this exhibition have made unique, one of a kind works with their own hands, and their desire is to share them with others and make a connection with viewers. Most of these works were created recently as a response to current events, and in my opinion, they all possess a special power and spirit that belies their intimate dimensions.
It may be that at times like these, artists are at their best, stripping down to the very core, the motivations that compel them to make art. This beautiful exhibition of small jewel-like objects and images demonstrates that in a whisper there is real power. The size of these pieces allows you, the art viewer, to engage with (and acquire) this work easily. Concerns like measurements and decor can be set aside, and one must only react and embrace these beautiful statements that reassert our shared humanity and connection in challenging times.
