Infinite Gradation is an astonishing meditation on the moral, emotional, and philosophical implications of love and the creative act, especially those creative works that, as George Steiner has said, "make a deposit in the bank of terror." Michaels has chosen to draw on that "bank" - to embrace life through an unblinking confrontation with the terror that is death in our time - by speaking through the work of three great artists, recently dead, who were her confidants: the sculptor Eva Hesse, the painter Jack Chambers, and Claire Wilks, print maker and sculptor "who could draw like few others."
