Lincoln Hancock: All the Stars in the Sky for 100 Nights120 S Wilmington St Suite 103
About 2500 stars are visible on a clear night to the unaided eye. I’ve been thinking about this figure as a poetic denominator in a grim equation — a way to begin to comprehend a quarter-million lives lost to COVID-19 in this country alone. This installation tries to do the math, but it’s also about the inability of a number to account for the human toll. Plato thought every soul had a companion star… even if we count every one of them for a hundred nights over, what can we know about what we’ve lost? Vea la traducción al español aquí. |

Katie Stewart: Rainglow401 Fayetteville St
"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain." - Dolly Parton
This installation explores accepting life’s challenges, dependent upon the assumption that something better awaits us on the other side. It’s the anticipation of something unattainable - the idea of a perfect explosion of happiness. A glowing rainbow explosion. This pandemic will not last forever. We can emerge from this storm to see the rainbow, stepping over the broken parts of us left along the way. It represents the pursuit of an impossible ideal but one we must cling to in order to keep going. Vea la traducción al español aquí. |

Danielle James: Swan Dive309 W Martin St
Danielle James was inspired to create this piece following a conversation with the owners of The High Tide Salon. Having short hair, Danielle is always amazed by people who have long flowing locks, let alone style them.
