“Looking at her works demands shifting levels of attention, as we scan them to register the pattern, then again to excavate embedded images."

"Rather than condescendingly and misguidedly treating Darger only as a case study, we can look into his work for what it may tell us about both the powerful allure of mass-mediated narrative and imagery and the possibility (or impossibility) of escaping the labyrinthine and often terrifying histories and politics of which we in the world today are the direct heirs.” Michael Moon. Darger's Resources.

In his external life Darger was a pitiable figure, reclusive, impoverished, orphaned at 16, often regarded as crazy, suffering almost constant pain in his later years and working menial jobs his entire life. However in the internal world of his writings and art he was both a hero and anti-hero, creator of magical, violent world’s and a fiercely determined protector of children.

"Curiously, the Garden seems simultaneously made and not made for the visitor, and I felt as though I had happened across a great secret—despite the fact that on that day, like any other at the Garden, thousands of other paying visitors are also enmeshed in the same “secret.” Tracy Ann Buck Bonfitto from The Rock Garden: A Study of Memory, Place-Making, and Community in Chandigarh, India (Dissertation).

“(Nek) Chand’s private vision engaged India’s collective spirit. Here, what has been called “outsider” art proves more culturally affirmative than the aesthetic of high modernism officially endorsed and imposed as the architectural vision for the region.”

There is something unique and fascinating about the work of the self-taught visionary Madge Gill - the nameless women that feature in almost all of her drawn and painted works provide a haunting gaze challenging the viewer to both look more closely but, so intensely do they stare, it’s hard not to look away - they are the eyes to the soul of an unseen force that unrelentingly drove the hand of an artist for over forty years.
