Artist Statement: I just want to get it together enough to be there for her. To be the parent she needs In this world of endless grief, I don’t want to be yet another source of it for that beautiful, bright being. You can’t live in this “reality” we’ve built and remain whole. I know that loss is part of life, but I don’t know If i can stand to see just what she’ll lose. I don’t want to be ruled by fear, and in the last few days the only time I don’t feel scared is when I feel angry. Is anger my savior?
