When selecting art or artists, I always look for artwork that makes me feel something — happy, sad, and curious or a sense of wonder — or takes me into a different space. I believe that art has that extraordinary power to take the viewer on a journey. I was excited to see such a range of work, especially small work, that had that creative power!
