"COMING AND GOING"
February's piece is called "Coming and Going" and represents the contrasts I've seen and thought about this month. February started with an explosive intrusion into the Earth's atmosphere. The headline from The New York Times on Feb. 16th read "Meteor Explodes, Raining Fragments on Siberia." It struck me that life is unexpected and surprising and that events can explode into an individual life in a shocking way. The end of the month was marked by two events that spoke to withdrawal - the resignation of a Pope and a father finally needing respite care.
So I've been thinking about contrast a lot this month.
The beach yielded a ready-made sculptural piece that needed no further additions or embellishment from me.
This screaming, sea-shredded piece of white plastic reminds me of a gull straining against the wind. I simply photographed it on black to provide the contrast that was February.
