Artist Statement

I have not been further than an hour or so from my home in Tigard, Oregon since March 14. Fifteen weeks, as of this writing. There is nowhere to go, other than somewhere within the short radius of my house to give my dogs a walk each day. We walk our "to town" and "to the school" routes; we drive to a nearby trail just to see somewhere different. The walks are longer than before. We can take more time. I am looking more closely. It feels like a responsibility now - to be a witness in this time.
