an interlude

class finished yesterday
but today i was back in the studio bright and early
because now it is my workspace until next Friday evening

there is a small window
looking on to Georges Island
hard to imagine that 10,000 Acadians were interned here
before being shipped out [to France, Louisiana and other ports]



the view changes from one hour to the next



between gazing out the window
i work
9 hours of serious effort
punctuated by excursions into the great outdoors
to gather materials
unaccustomed luxury


tomorrow i'll hang the exhibition

  6. Now I'm really jealous. How nice it would have been to see an exhibit of your work while you were in St. Louis for the workshop this summer. Congrats and best wishes on your current work and show. Looks like you've had quite a time!
