Program Note by Hazel Beatrice Alexander
Our perception of love is often seen in media as intense, sexual, short, and all-consuming. It is not until we watch the screen flicker black that we feel love in its entirety. Both romantic and platonic, returned or unrequited. Everyone feels love in a different way, not good or bad... simply human connection.
Program Note
“Artists are people driven by the tension between the desire to communicate and the desire to hide.” - Donald Woods Winnicott
Program Note by Mandi Weitz
Memory is central to our lives as human beings. In a world where time is consistently fleeting, we cling to thoughts of the past and hopes for the future, relying on the fact that when all else slips away, our minds remain our own. For those with Dementia and Alzheimer's Disease, this vital part of human life is taken, impacting their ability to carry out normal life functions, remember loved ones, and communicate their thoughts. Yet even as it seems the person has slipped away, it is the human connections maintained with others that keeps a part of them alive. You remain unforgotten.
