speechless

Pandemic, murder, demonstrations, voter supression, police brutality and…coming around the bend….climate change. The stress load is heavier and heavier. I’m not sure I can even line up two or three sentences that parse how I am feeling. I’m speechless.

I can only show you what I am working on. This piece is called Silos. Silos as in we are all separating into our own narratives. Silos like how we store up for the future. Silos like when there is a surplus. Silos as in dysfunctional business environments. Silos like media streams that only speak to the loyal. Silos as in isolation.

It started with masks.

And a quilt I no longer wanted.

She Didn’t Have the Password. 2020.

That got cut up.

Into head shapes.

And added to a newly created background.

Maybe next time I post here I will figure out what to say.

What are you working on?
