da, da, da!! :0! :) Karin: almost immediately I am transfixed! I am immediately reminded of the brillant work of the Japanese novelist Haruki Murakami: specifically his novels "The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle," "Sputnik Sweetheart" "Hard-boiled Wonderland..." "Wild Sheep Chase" and the story "The elephant Vanishes"...the collision of separate lives...separate visual planes...the skin of the glove of the hand..blessings...the child with grace...and/or the girl (left hand side)...the continual demonstration in your work of collision: as representation of fragmented lives: how do we truthfully depict our experiences of perception, time, love: re-ordered chemistry and entropy...And your gorgeous use of blue and subdued color...intensely poetic...and delerious. I am simply mesmerized...and enormously jealous ;)...from the shadow corners of our bodies and lives poetry: i celebrate the expansiveness...and the richness :))
