"Hobbs is gesturing toward broader commentaries through open-ended inquiries, avoidant of easily legible or parochial narratives. This pursuit however is not to be abstruse but, instead, to resist the bland demystification that occurs in didacticism, in being explained and fully understood. Instead, in extending equivalence beyond visible relationships, Hobbs offers a space to wonder, “what exactly is this?” all the while feeling, perhaps and fleetingly, exactly what that might be." - Tess Wei, Artist, Assistant Professor of Art & List Gallery Assistant at Swarthmore College
