art current: Work by Dyan Berk at Miles

A hospital may not be the likeliest place to see some fresh and energizing work, but that's others' loss - Dyan Berk is showing two-dimensional work of great spirit at the Miles Memorial Hospital in Damariscotta.

interjections

"…it seems like the big distinction between good art and so-so art lies somewhere in the art’s heart’s purpose, the agenda of the consciousness behind the text. It’s got something to do with love. With having the discipline to talk out of the part of yourself that can love instead of the part that just wants to be loved."

 

- David Foster Wallace
