I realized a long time ago that being surrounded by visual art was a safe space for me, be it in a museum or “in” a painting. Artists Jada Lynn Dixon and Kerri Horine are using art too, to tackle the idea of what makes a safe space. “The concept … revolves around the idea of spaces established as refuge or sanctuary, especially in anticipation of states of transformation. Within this concept, [our] task is excavation of the subject from the debris of the past, even from which the hint of the future becomes visible.”
