Moments of perfection are indescribable but a few things can be said about them. At such times we are suddenly very happy and we wonder why life ever seemed troublesome. In an instant we can see the road ahead free from all difficulties and we think that we will never lose it again. All this and a great deal more in barely a moment, and then it is gone.

But all such moments are stored in the mind. They are called sensibility or awareness of perfection in the mind.

We must surrender the idea that this perfection that we see in the mind or before our eyes is obtainable or attainable. It is really far from us. We are no more capable of having it than the infant that tries to eat it. But our happiness lies in our moments of awareness of it.

The function of art work is the stimulation of sensibilities, the renewal of memories of moments of perfection.

Agnes Martin, Writings, early 6o's

“Camp taste is a kind of love, love for human nature. It relishes, rather than judges, the little triumphs and awkward intensities of ‘character’ (…) Camp taste identifies with what it is enjoying. People who share this sensibility are not laughing at the thing they label as ‘a camp’, they’re enjoying it. Camp is a tender feeling.”

— Susan Sontag, from, “Notes on Camp,” originally published in 1964

As though exorcized from within her subjects, photographer Magdalena Pacewicz layers her portraits with glimpses of anatomical distortions reminiscent of demons. Each exposed layer surfaces the light and dark qualities of the emotional struggle that plays out within us all.

Three paintings by Canadian artist Alex Colville are visible in the background in The Shining while Wendy Torrence is in the foreground. I have been trying to figure out the symbolism for years.

“My philosophy was always that art really could communicate to larger numbers of people instead of that elitist group of people that could afford it and ‘understand it.’”
