An excerpt from Isaac’s exhibition statement:
“… Wait For Me Inside The Infinite presents a selection of figurative artwork by Isaac Atkins and his deceased mother and fellow artist, Kim Degen. Together, they explore personal narratives through symbolic imagery and fabricated characters. These fictional creatures meld animal and human traits, mirroring subjects from old-fashioned children’s books. These anthropomorphic beings weave themselves into every piece and exist in many forms, including doll figurines, painting subjects, and muses for bazaar fashion pieces. “
