Day 11 of 365 - The gift of light and color

Today was my last monthly meeting with the management team at Elizabeth River Crossings. I will be retiring later this month. It was an honor and privilege to lead this group of dedicated and talented professionals. The gift of light and color in the form of glass is so appropriate and much appreciated.

Day 7 of 365 - Hypomnemata - Rosa, Kate, Lili, Regina, and Aennie

by artist @raestern on display at the Simon Family JCC in Virginia Beach.

“In this work, Stern revisit the photographs of five young women, whose photographs she collected for the Outside Time installation. The illuminated youthful gazes, are contrasted by the tragic events that later unfolded in their lives.”

“To create the large scale translucent paper, Stern manipulated the thickness of the pulp without using any pigment. The daylight shines through the thinner parts of the handmade paper, exposing the image.”

See her immersive installation titled Outside Time on view at @virginiamoca through March 6th.

Day 5 of 365 - Pavement Poetry

To My Love After George Floyd
I couldn’t sleep
last night.
Why not?
I lied awake, listening
to you breathe.
What?
I wanted to savor it.
Oh?
Yes, it’s now
the thing
I love most about you.
