JUROR'S STATEMENT The works chosen for the exhibition "Dark" exemplify the range of approaches that contemporary artists deploy to make sense of human vulnerability and uncertainty. Though many of the submissions were noteworthy, I chose works that I felt investigated the theme most coherently (or poignantly). The act of rendering visible the difficult, the uncertain, and the unconscious helps the viewer understand how the precarious nature of life can look and feel. The world we live in often feels shaped by catastrophic events, (both internal and external) and a sense of looming crisis seems to provide the structure of feeling of our time. I felt that each chosen work, in its own way, examined this concept and created its own rules of engagement as an aesthetic experience between artist and viewer." - Nancy Toomey, Toomey Tourell Fine Art Gallery San Francisco
