JUROR’S STATEMENT

The shows at the MFA Circle Gallery are always exceptional, with a breadth of media, styles, and poetic points of view. The undertaking of selecting from over 350 entries to 60 is a bit daunting given the extent of talented applicants. While staying conscious of selecting a representative sampling of the wide-ranging mediums and styles, the final goal was to pare the selection down.

This exhibition represents a vast and diverse body of artistic and poetic concerns. Within this assemblage lives abstraction and realism. It houses collage, painting, sculpture, photography, and digital media along with hybrid approaches. The poetics span the spectrum of human expression: from joyfulness to stillness, from sublime to outlandish, from dreamy to wide-awake, from sunny to darkness. These all reside at the MFA Gallery.

It is an honor and delight to see so much talent, and to offer my selected medley of accomplished artwork to the public. It is a humbling and revealing experience to recognize yet again how much brilliance endures within our midst.
