Exhibition: Now I Know What Nothing Is
The title of the exhibition, Now I Know What Nothing Is, was inspired by a photograph in Patti Smith’s A Book Of Days. In this image, Smith sits in a chair, chin in the heel of her hand. She is lost in thought, a distinct heaviness to her gaze. The caption reads: ‘This is just thinking of nothing. I remember my mother sitting like this. And I would ask, what is it Mommy? And she would say, Oh nothing. And now I know what nothing is.’
