Margrethe Aanestad, Daniel Arturo Almeida, Dalia Amara, Cyriaco Lopes, Randy West.
In the novel Tar Baby, Toni Morrison wrote, “At some point in life the world’s beauty becomes enough. You don’t need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough.” Exploring themes of love and memory, the artists in this show have created works that grapple with how we relate to each other and ultimately posit the question: What is enough? Whether through the investigation of familial bonds as with Almeida and Amara’s work, romantic love in West’s series, or the nature of being in the work of Aanestad and Lopes, the works in this show evoke an ethos of delicateness and a celebration of impermanence.
