Michael Dolen:
The word “circus” calls to mind clowns and acrobats, lion tamers and painted faces, side shows and aerial acts. For me it also calls to mind the interaction of bright lights and dark recesses, difficult feats and a sort of giddy optimism. Always I think of “circus” as a word signifying performance, and in that sense it’s no surprise — not to me, at any rate — that my own recent work should have so much to do with circus images and the sometimes exhilarating, sometimes troubling aspects of a realm that is by no means innocent or childish.
