The first word that comes to mind upon viewing John Graham’s series, Fiercely Open is "vulnerability". His pieces contain such a potent vulnerability that simply viewing them is a vulnerable experience for the audience, a closer look at the pieces reveal a common theme - the occurrence of relationships in the content and the collages. A character with a tree. A pair of pagan-like figures engaging one another. And in these relationships, and in these prints, there is a longing for something. Connection. Discovery. Truth.
