Last night, amid the terrible news coming out of Paris, I attended my friend's art showing. The artist is Janice Movson. Her ceramic sculptures are beautiful and haunting, the figures seeming to hold the ache of the world. Everyone was shelled shocked by what was happening overseas, but for a couple of hours we allowed ourselves to be enveloped in a communal art space, a gentle corner away from the horrors unfolding elsewhere.
And as we grow older, we become more aware of that which needs to be let go of and that which needs to be held on to.

As your very own blog says, "love is the what" ...
ReplyDeleteP. S. I so love that phrase.
ReplyDeleteThis is, indeed, a gentle corner. I teared up at the photo of the older man and woman -- the way it's framed, the blurry background, their engrossment in one another. It moved me so much. I love, too, that you hold on.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love that top picture. It reminds me of our class trips to the MET. I think first graders could do incredible observational drawings of these sculptures.
ReplyDeleteLove your post!
