“Normal life pretends to be forever. When the normal senior citizen abnormalities tell you it isn’t so, you start digging for light, first in the woodpile with axe and mall, then in the empty staring pages of your notebook with your ballpoint pen.” Brightly colored paintings of bedsheets intersperse with minimalist, wispy black, white and grey pen & ink drawings. Hopeful ruminations on un-hopeful topics such as old age, mortality, suffering, the state of the world, and death.
