“ Muted Beauty” considerations of beauty during this year of Coronavirus and isolation.
The works provide a metaphor for how beauty continues. Beauty still exists around us, but is unable to resonate loudly, it is still there albeit in a quieter, gentler way, and at times faded and declining as our immediate world seems smaller, narrower, receding to the background against a tide of change, challenges and impacts.
Yet it will continue, gradually the whisper will have a louder voice, its protest against our loneliness a voice that echoes more silently in these times. The steadfast presence allows for comfort as it accompanies our journey.
