Lydia
"Lydia never felt her name fit. She thought herself more of an
Amos and when she moved to Montana that's how she would introduce
herself."
The 12th installment of the ever-popular
I have participated in this show many times but I am more excited than ever!
They are 4x4" each, on cradled wood panels- available online here.
Ruby
"Ruby would climb the apple trees to eat the apples right where they hung, until one day she slid free. Now, when she feels a storm's imminent arrival in her left leg, she thinks of apples."
Ruth
"As a child, Ruth ate some wild mushrooms that bent her mind in an irretrievable way. Her mother always apologized for her and described how she once was."
Levi
"Levi just lived to play the accordion: the visceral feel of pushing and pulling the bellows excited her, and when people watched her play they were always awestruck."
Minnette
"Minnette lays face down on the dock that stretches out over her family pond. She drops her hands in the water, and fish slide their thick bodies through her outstretched fingers."
Amelia
"Amelia saw angels in the trees and heard them whispering her
name. When she would walk through the woods, she'd walk quickly and
never look up."
Darby
"Darby's mother wandered off in the show one February evening
and wasn't found until the spring thaw. At night, with the fresh snow
piling high just beyond her window, she understood the lure."
Tilley
"Tilley worried the clouds hanging so precariously overhead
might one day fall and crush her and so she often looked suspiciously at
the sky."
