half her life staring white clouds mimic fogged glass one day sickness won't hold her here turn to the view sparkling pond lilacs on fire chortling jays ants swarm kidnap writhing wasp turn back to door blue washes her face mist up conversations let's eat oranges and daffodils forever sleeping on trains, leaning on elbows a teasing poke a blinking eye

Occasional posts also invite you into the way I work, with intermittent notes on the hows and whys on the whats I make. Less often you may also find prompts and processes I've brought to workshops, as well as surveys that help me gather material for projects.
