Dear Life, I am doing a series of collages using maps I collected during my summer road trip. Here is Pennsylvania in progress. I will submit this to my Contemporary Figurative Projects class. It shows how the “figure” is elemental in mapping one’s life, past and present, while offering a glance towards the future: travel, writing, creating art, being in beauty. The caption in the lower center reads: “there she is ____ walking on air ____ she is”.

Dear Life, Experienced this peaceful and beautiful moment amongst the chaos of boxes and Covid: late day light, orange roses, and a tea latte in the corner of my bedroom. I spent the day resting. Woke at 2:30am, read for 30 minutes then unpacked some clothes. Fell back to sleep until 8:00am. My body rhythms are disrupted by medication and moving. I know this will pass. I am grateful to be in new home and look forward to getting things in their place and release whatever does not bring me joy. “We came to know a new peace…”
Yours Truly, Pamela
