Abstract
This special compilation explores how death reveals itself as both an unspoken subtext and conscious motif in the work of ten artists. Employing diverse mediums, these artists express the material and existential implications of the force that affects all. From Charles Suggs’ haunting portraits conjured from memory and smoke to shards of glass delicately stitched together in a sculpture by Audrey Goldstein to the soundless finality of Bill Ciccariello’s nature mortes, this community exhibition finds encompassing beauty in death’s constant and generative presence.
