Rabbit Heads

Art can show us what we cannot see and may show us what we cannot name or understand. It can depict grand narratives or create down-to-earth entertainment. It can also give acknowledgement and substance to emotions, anxieties and fears that we cannot comprehend. Sometimes it is not even about showing and seeing, but rather just being immersed in the creative process, which can disconnect us from certain aspects of our lives and reconnect us to other parts of ourselves.

Art is not necessarily therapeutic, cathartic, or an antidote to modern life. It can just be a snapshot of where we are today, with the proviso that humble snapshots are often our most treasured means of stopping the flow of time and honouring both ourselves and others.
