"Journey Toward Healing" features collages by Janette Maley and photographs by Arthur Hand. As wife and husband, the two artists had separate careers until 1998 when Maley was diagnosed with breast cancer — a fact that redefined their artistic output. Maley became her own subject matter as she started a series of small collage works that examine self image, cultural constructions of beauty, and physical and psychological change. Hand began an intimate series of portraits of Maley on her journey through surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation, on her years as a survivor, and, ultimately, on her death in September 2006. Hand's journey carries on in the face of this loss, sharing the art that connected their lives, confronted their fears, and continues to give him strength and hope. Mr. Hand will give a brief presentation at 6:30 p.m. following the concert.
