Empty Space and Silence


I have an ongoing series of  studio photographs that seem to highlight
the empty space and silence referred to in the following quote:

Remember that just to have the eyes
of an artist, that can be enough, the ear 
of a poet, that can be enough, the soul
of a human just pointed in the direction
of the divine,
that can be enough.

I tell you this to remind myself.
Every gesture is an act of creation.
Even empty spaces and silence
can be the wings and voices of angels.

Mary Helen, this quote really makes you consider the importance of every gesture, and what to make or leave behind.
