The coming Solstice, December 21, is the official first day of winter. During the season's long dark nights, we tend to hibernate, to hunker down and turn inward. However, ancient civilizations celebrated the winter solstice, not for darkness but for light. They saw it as a rebirth of the life-giving sun, a harbinger of spring, a promise of warmth and fertility to come.
As 2020 closes all of us have had enough of forced hibernation. The seven artists of this exhibition encourage you to look anew at the winter solstice and to recognize it as a turning point. While each artist has a very different artistic practice, we all offer art as a way forward out of the darkness towards hope and regeneration.
