Three Generations, 20"x 13", mixed media, 1994
No one ever told us we had to study our lives,
make of our lives a study, as if learning natural history
or music, that we should begin
with the simple exercises first
and slowly go on trying
the hard ones, practicing till strength
and accuracy became one with daring...
- Adrienne Rich, Transcendental Etude
Art making is my way of daring myself to honestly examine my life.
