"Longing is momentum in disguise: It’s active, not passive; touched with the creative, the tender, and the divine." -Susan Cain
The works in this show, for me, speak to longing through what is missing. It is the negative space--either implicated or forcibly removed--that draws me into their objecthood and reminds me of my own ongoing search for things I cannot name. Walking through this exhibition, what is "not there" is as active as what's visible. Peek into the folds, look through the loops, consider what has been cut out. It is in these places that you will find what you are looking for, even if you don't know what it is. - Melissa Joseph
