Avoiding the Void

Avoiding the Void

Avoiding the Void features works from the Cunningham Dax Collection that reflect and engage with existential ideas and concerns. Featuring artists such as Graeme Doyle, Richard McLean and Joan Rodriquez, and poetry by Sandy Jeffs, these works address questions ordinarily avoided: Who am I? Do I belong? Why am I suffering? What is the purpose?
