Staying on the outskirts of the burned areas, not wanting to get in the way of recovery efforts, not wanting to see the devastation of our beautiful Santa Rosa neighborhoods, parks, vineyards. But the images are already burned into our minds and hearts.
Muse Group demo: acrylic, gesso, fabric collage on w/c paper, 10 X 11″
Crow lands on a burnt out tree, ponders as he watches ash float down.
Nothing familiar here. In the ashes nothing looks the same, a world upended.
And yet, shapes of people’s lives, of things one time possessed, then not. Shards of things, zippers without the pants. Paper gone, words gone.
Yet in someone’s yard five miles away a restaurant menu piece floats to the ground and a bill as yet unpaid.

THanks Maureen. What would we do without our art to speak out our hearts?!
