I’ve been writing rhymes and poems since I was a little girl. Rhyming came naturally as a way of comforting myself, and it still works to do so. And even though I use text and poems in my found object constructions, it’s only now that I was drawn to partner them with photos I have taken.
I submitted three to the exhibition entitled, “Women in the Heights: Up Close & Personal,” celebrating Women’s History Month at the Northern Manhattan Arts Alliance. The curator, Andrea Arroyo, selected “After I Met You” (first image below), a piece I dedicated to my late husband.
I hope you like them!
