  • Residency / Exhibition: Anita Levesque & Bradley Smith

      Heartlab: Noticed Growth Residency August 1 to 30, 2009 Exhibition September 1-30, 2009 This work represents a new chapter in our ongoing exploration of the relationship between text and image.

(Ethics and aesthetics are one and the same.)”  Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus  Ludwig Wittgenstein; Page: 71. I have written many Artist Statements in the past thirty-five years or so.
