This homesickness of mind
\nLike cuts made almost tenderly in flesh. The surfaces of things grown slow and
\nDangerous
\nBeneath the desire to apprehend. September light I cannot hear your quiet.
\nSo much elsewhere unsettling each surface, so much annul.<\/p>\n
-Laurie Sheck<\/p>\n
At times, we may feel out of place even in the most familiar settings. We are creatures of habit, yet even the routine to which we are accustomed can feel out of step. In these moments, do we lean in further to what is comfortable and known or take the chance to make changes? The answer is often far from clear, and humans tend to cling tight to certainty. But sometimes, when something that seems fundamentally a part of ourselves begins to shift, while it can be scary at first to embrace the change, it can ultimately lead to new horizons.<\/p>\n
Aaron Gilbert<\/a> joined us to talk about his show,\u00a0World Without End<\/em><\/a>, which runs until April 19 at Gladstone Gallery. Gilbert\u2019s work examines intimate relationships between people and the potential for us to be transformative as historical forces within the lives we live every day. Starting with the lives we actually live and who we are as complex beings, he then considers that none of us truly know how powerful we can be. In his current body of work, Gilbert also considers time as a mystery that we contend with.
