"With his brother’s death, Bringley experienced a quiet reckoning, away from striving and into silence. 'My heart is full, my heart is breaking, and I badly want to stand still awhile,' he writes.” A Museum Guard’s Ode to the Healing Power of Art

"I once asked if his artwork is inspired in part by the plants outside his window, so many of which bear a striking resemblance to his branching sculptures. No. In fact, he also shapes the garden. The word he uses in Arabic is tahdhib (grooming, pruning, or cultivating)."

Curator @_maya_allison says that a big part of her role is to bring the work to life for the viewer. But how to do this for the NPUAE 2022 exhibition, where the work is so abstract? *Photo by Mohamed Somji
