sound maps . antenna

It is quiet between the walls

the layered textiles

the paper walls

there is a faint sound of strings

i think

and a hum in the clouds

I like the word melancholy

it has a little madness

part sadness

and part magic

I use my antenna to listen 

to the far away distance

the particles and static

 

silence in the void . static

the absence of sound

the void

a room behind the wall

translating static and echoes

sound maps . static

ghosts of imaginary friends

 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

 Imaginary friend

{gouache paint ink mixed media collage on old photograph}

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 

A ghost and stairs

 A ghost 

An in-between the

dark days of
