"Luster seeps through hairline cracks; others seem to channel the source of their illumination from a hidden presence behind the wall, in a way that evokes Dan Flavin’s fluorescent tubes... In this show... painting is a vehicle for more than mere contemplation, and something greater than a state of mind." Art Forum

Sehnsucht is "a compound word, originating from an ardent longing or yearning (das Sehnen) and addiction (die Sucht). It is sometimes felt as a longing for a far off country, but not a particular earthly land which we can identify." (at/via Jennilee)
