Obscure Sorrows: A Hopeful Glimpse
DESCRIPTION
Archival ink on museum-quality cotton rag paper | 2022
In Obscure Sorrows, Leigh Wells engages in a dialogue with our inner complexity and unnameable emotional states. The artist’s curiosity about the nature of consciousness and human relationships inspire each of these collages. The title comes from John Koenig’s thought provoking 2021 book, “The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows”
