Beginning of the Cycle

Charles Barbin

<div>“PERSONAL SPACE was motivated &amp; inspired by the desire to want to stay together. To congregate with our neighbors and our community. As a flock. We've recently been exposed to a world where we've been denied the choice to act socially in a group. We've had to consider Spacing, recently termed distancing, being separate. Spaces instinctively functioning as motivations for attraction are now possible risks and thought of as repulsive. Birds often sit with each other on Wires waiting for an event as simple as a sunset to happen. Our crucial event is happening, now together we wait for it to set and start a new day.” - Charles Barbin, artist (Atlantic City Arts Foundation / 48 Blocks AC)</div>
