Congratulations on a beautiful start to a beautiful blog, L! Your art is stunning and haunting, and I definitely see the Cornell influence :) In my own writing, I've begun moving away from the literal and toward a more figurative (in the writing sense--so metaphorical) mode. Your pieces will inspire me. Thank you for sharing them!
