Humanist Touch: Works from the Weber Collection
I am honored to have two of my sculptures included in this show. The Opening Reception is on Saturday, February 7, 6 - 9 pm; Gallery Talk, April 11, 2 - 3 pm.Curated by Laura Roulet, these works from the Weber collection reflect Joan and Bruce Weber’s long engagement with contemporary DMV artists and galleries. When they describe their collection, a strong sense of community emerges, one enriched by personal ties to the artists and by the many conversations, visits, and encounters that shaped their choices.Humanist Touch invites viewers into their world of intuitive, heartfelt collecting. Guided by a principle they call Humanist—the belief that art should reveal the hand of the maker and “demand something from us”—the Webers gravitate toward expressive mark-making, layered surfaces, and works that offer an authentic encounter with human creativity.For visitors, the exhibition provides a rare glimpse into how a meaningful collection grows over time. The Webers’ approach shows how collecting can begin not with expertise or wealth, but with genuine interest and the courage to follow what moves you. Featuring painting, sculpture, photography, video, computer art, and performance documentation, the exhibition spans styles from Cubist abstraction to hyperrealism, with in-depth representations of John Winslow, Jason Gubiotti, and Inga Frick.Ultimately, Humanist Touch invites viewers to consider their own engagement with art: What images stay with you? What sparks your curiosity? And what might you choose to live with should you begin a collection of your own?

Resonance: Works Which Hold
“Our job as artists is to become consciously resonant to the world, rather than alienated from it; to connect with others and to create the conditions for resonance among us. We do not do this by forcing our will upon the world, rather we create circumstances in which resonance might occur.”
The Art of Resonance, Anne Boggart
