Online Art Exhibition
Call and Response: Collaboration at a Distance Round 6

Call and Response: Collaboration at a Distance Round 6

In March 2020 when we went on lockdown due to the pandemic, the Shoebox PR team created “Call and Response: Collaboration at a Distance” as a way to stay connected and to check in with and support each other. We are now going into Round 7 and have enjoyed the process, experiences and friendships that we have made. The project draws on the tradition of Jazz and Exquisite Corpse as a way for the artists to ping pong creatively off of each other. We are looking forward to continuing on for as long as we need to.

Please join us for the opening reception of the online exhibition via zoom Saturday September 5, 3-5pm pst.

Transitions

I try to value me,
whoever I may be.
I tried to have everything,
conventionally.

I chose quickly but not wisely.
I wanted to
move on to the good part.
I want to savor

new starts, transitions.
I try to see the treasure
of now,
even as it stands.

There are certain small
things I never appreciated.
I had grand plans,
I loved …

what I loved.
I was bold for a while.
Driving in the desert
dirt roads, red rocks

beer in hand, radio singing
wheels forward, always
spinning forward. When I
was in a holding pattern,

I wept. Rolling on,
my children saw
icicles glaciers trout streams
hot springs geysers tropical

islands distant galaxies through
telescopes. Of course, much
of that was for me,
as is a garden now.

Reverse the view and
from the scope,
everything seems so small,
as we are ourselves

pinpricks of light,
silvery against a collapsing
darkness.
This is me.

I look for the worth in that
tiny flame. I take in
the momentary stillness.
Transitions come
in many sizes.
