“Looking at the Drawings together as a suite (and this is the best way to consider them), the frequency of the circular form and the colored chains is striking, as is the evident movement through them from dark to light dominating the surface. In them, one can see an admitted admiration for the playful seriousness of Paul Klee and even more compellingly, the dark layers and circular elements in the work of Kurt Schwitters. Yet, these colored drawings are uniquely Hester’s, and they speak of a sense of renewal and peace.”
