Perspective ruminates on the notions of life … and death, represented in simple forms and imagery via explorations of line in the form of thread and twine within 2-dimensional, sculptural, and installation works." -Tuyen My Nguyen 3rd floor: Humanity – No Fear of the Other and the Good Life: Paintings by Damariscotta Rouelle.
