Once Was

From the Artist: “Once Was” is a photograph taken on the North Salem Bridle trails last year that I recently manipulated to show images of long ago when the trails were full of riders. This ghostly image tells the story of empty trails and missing riders.

I chose this piece because I believe it reflects personal emotions and contemporary issues both political and personal. The way this piece is produced represents the impermanent existence of everything through the breakdown of words, sound, and use of chalk. I believe that artists can document and confirm these Covid times, artists by sharing their own personal experiences. The enclosed art supports my own experiences.
