Alex Seton on Humanity and Virtue through Art

Alex Seton continues to study humanity and our virtues through his artworks. The artist shares his learnings through the exhibition Once There. Using dust cloths from his studio as his subject, Seton forces a plainer reading and contemplation of human impact, production and our ever-expanding relationship with the material world in marble pieces. Each piece of cloth is used as a visual allegory of our common humanity and virtue.
