“It’s hard enough to define what art is, much less ‘good art.’ I wonder if there is such a thing. Maybe there are just good responses. But I guess if a work of art makes us see something familiar in a new way or makes us feel something we ought to have felt all along or shows us our place in the world more clearly, maybe then it qualifies as ‘good.’ If it makes us better somehow, maybe that’s what gives it value.”

“Watergaw means a part of a rainbow. Only part. A broken piece one might see through the clouds. Greer garnered hope from it as a way to search for beauty, even within brokenness."
