Obscure Sorrows: Expectations
Print
DESCRIPTION

The title comes from John Koenig’s thought provoking 2021 book, “The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows”

“I approach the combination of elements in my work as though I am constructing a feeling, a thought, a relationship—intentionally creating spatial and narrative ambiguity that heightens the work’s expressive tension.”
-Leigh Wells
