The experience of loss is universal; Gone From My Sight asks how we can witness death with a spirit of curiosity and intention while still honoring sorrow. Maine artists Jacqueline Scott, Rachel Sperry, Fran Vita-Taylor, and Ronnie Wilson, along with poet Hazel Koziol, offer a range of responses to this fundamental challenge. The exhibit features painting, sculpture, photography, cut-paper drawings, and poetry, all reflecting upon end-of-life compassion and subsequent confrontation with loss. Drawing from combined experiences of loss and their own creative, empathic response, the work in Gone From My Sight offers a window into moments of emergent transformation.
