Along the mainland shore..

Imagining what might have been,

again,

before.

Morning Gestures

Morning Gestures

Energy expended between moments of silence,

a dance played out in a vacuum,

crowded by too much of you.

Conversations that may/will never happen,

the insignificant fears,

deciding if or not

to endure,

as if there was a choice.

Mornings do start this way. Some recent gesture poses from sessions with “V” and “R”

Both: 24”x 18” ebony graphite
