Someone to Watch Over Me - The Better Angels of Our Nature

Photographs: Michael Wolfe

Writing: Kirsten Krauth

Lyrics: Nick Cave

Curator: Jennifer Long

Artist Michael Wolfe and writer Kirsten Krauth with lyrics by Nick Cave look through the gothic glass darkly at the edges of these uncertain times in photographs, verse, lyrics and text.

Exploring the rituals of remembrance as expressed in memorial statuary and reflections on loss, sorrow, absence, melancholy and letting go.

They ask the questions: how do we appeal to the better angels of our nature and where are they just when we need them the most?
