these last few months
especially the weeks
and the days
have seemed like a collective challenge
and an experiment of how much one
can endure
through all of this
that is going on
being in now
in a world of uncertainties
for months
has found inspiration in visiting
imaginary friends , ghosts of the past
and memories of others
Ghost of ione

Imaginary friend

these new pieces are quiet moments
taking bits of contemplation
to step away from the news of the world
setting aside time
sitting in the studio each day
and visiting these friends
