It’s important to learn how to use your small bits of time, your five minutes, your ten minutes. All those begin to count up…Don’t wait until your children are grown…Learn how to use your snatches of time when they are given to you. – Ruth Asawa
Drawings In spring of 2020, New York City emerged as the COVID epicenter, my family was hunkered down within it. I began to form blobby compositions at night after putting my kids to bed. I found resonance in Ruth Asawa’s words on stealing personal moments in times of intense parenting. Over the months and long days in our house this late night shape shifting became a retreat to both confront the–often devastating COVID–incoming news, examine my day’s experience, and find joy. Posting the blobs fostered connections outside our walls. Years later, these digital compositions have shifted. While once exclusively soft, the shapes have sharpened. Whatever the form, I keep making–when all is dark and quiet. The compositions remain: meditations on a day’s journey. From Brooklyn, with love.
