He confronts and provokes the viewer with arresting images that reveal the unspoken of today's world—the sacred and the profane, the spiritual and the material. Higginson is interested in what lies beneath the surface. He seeks out the cultural subtext and exposes it in a seamless play between reality and representation, between perceptions of facts and opinions. He feels the subtext, the unsaid, can best be divined through indirect metaphor and asks us to pause, meditate, and question. Higginson’s interest is to serve the community and utilize the Arts as a tool to elevate public awareness of pressing social problems. His artistic mission is to tell the stories that define us and, in doing so, to scrutinize contemporary life and illuminate our inherent human fragility.
