Abstract/Artist Statement
I hope you all enjoy this piece that I wrote last Semester. I had been reading a lot of Emily Dickinson and was particularly struck by this poem:
"'Hope' is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -
And never stops - at all -
And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard -
And sore must be the storm -
That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I’ve heard it in the chillest land -
And on the strangest Sea -
Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me."
-Emily Dickinson
