A life of modern communication, one that includes reading online, challenges us to be careful curators in a way. We work to choose what we sense, given the myriad of choices. Once in a while, we deserve to see and experience art in the real sense. Dahlquist’s work can be viewed online, but the artifact and her presentation of it is a rich experience.” Tom Ryan
