Description
The daily newspaper, the homeless man who lives under the bridge, or the woman we glimpse in the rearview mirror - each encounter is commonplace, but wonderfully transformed by the clean, visceral energy of Bob Hicok's The Legend of Light. Whether he is considering the reflection of human faces in the Vietnam War Memorial or the elements of a "Modern Prototype" factory, Hicok prompts an icy realization that we may have never seen the world as it truly is. But his resilient voice and consistent perspective, neither blaming nor didactic, are ultimately enlightening. From the shadowed corners into which we dare not look clearly, Hicok makes us witness and hero of The Legend of Light.
