Relay comes from the French relayer, which means “to change hounds
on a hunt.” It still has that sense of something passed in motion. In a
relay race — each team member carries a baton part-way, then passes
it on.
In many ways we are societally participating in a relay, passing
batons of work, experience, and even grief from one person to the
next, in part, with hopes of a diminished burden, and an eventual
resolve.
It is this idea that the series of exhibitions is conceived. One
artist’s output seizes upon and passes an element of visionary wonder
to another, often without obvious intent. The obtuse exchange
nevertheless carries on.
