Intimacy in Art

Barbara Guest describes James Skyler as an 'entomist' who withholds his secret until the right moment, creating an atmosphere of intimacy. This intimacy is described as close, touchable, and dangerously sweet, akin to waiting for someone to speak in an aside. The concept of intimacy in art is likened to waiting for the name of a flower while praising its careful cultivation, highlighting the delicacy and depth in Skyler's work.
