Sophie Agnes Walden
$2,700
The abstraction and searching quality of Agnes' brushstrokes evokes a thoughtful sense of looking and understanding of the subject, whether that be a portrait of two lovers, a friend, a stranger or an empty plate in front of an overcast window.

I want to contribute to a vocabulary for expressions of care that precede the desire for understanding. I question the primacy of empathy as a goal in portraiture or as a prerequisite for acts of protection, stewardship, and solidarity. From painting, I ask for a place to grow my own capacity for care across distance. The language of paint is a vocabulary of intimacy: touch, attention, accumulation, compromise, repair. I have faith in painting as a tool for naming the places where language and other structures fail.
