Slim, yet deep, as Deborah aptly noted. There is a finely wrought sense of compression and expansion that oscillates and energizes.

Your work illuminates mine in a very perceptive and open way that leaves me feeling genuinely "seen", and profoundly grateful. Thank you for this, and for your constant friendship and support!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07965673151127618945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639339699258439249.post-5170747165210261482012-09-20T11:45:20.617-04:002012-09-20T11:45:20.617-04:00Extraordinary column of expression.Extraordinary column of expression.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2639339699258439249.post-31002737025265316982012-09-19T18:26:55.555-04:002012-09-19T18:26:55.555-04:00Stunning.
