Description
Experimental, lyrical, playful, and profound, ENDNOTES translates a poem of pandemic isolation into a cascade of illustrations, notes, and sub-notes to illuminate a richly interconnected world. The void of empty basketball courts and abandoned athletic shoes fills with a series of 17 watercolor paintings, followed by memories, perceptions, associations, and reflections in a journey of curiosity and exploration. ENDNOTES is about letting the mind wander, notice, and reflect. It is about reaching out and then reaching out some more. Get ready for sugar mice. Kaleidoscopes. Clouds. Sign language. Sidewalk construction. Wild goats. Here are unexpected links, bridges, ways of noticing the world and its many significances. Here is a map to discovering meaning even in uneasy times.
