The Critical Review takes the form of a structured argument. You have something you want the reader to know and agree with, and you proffer evidence and lead them through your thinking so that when they get to your conclusion they can agree that it is plausible.

Art can generate the invisible elements that we carry inside, to the surface. To experience, recognise, celebrate, acknowledge or understand.

I came across an interesting article recently with Sati Zech, she spoke about her large unapologetic canvases and the inspiration behind them.
