What first drew me to Heather Horton’s work were her gentle impressions of pain. Of grief, of what’s missing… of silence, serene or agonized (we share a fascination with the wealth of expression found in studying the backs of people’s heads). To me, her work made life still – stopped everything to say: Hush. This is now. We are inside this “now”. We’re exploring not the event but the moment it happens in, or the moment long after, when the room has grown eerie with rue.
