Empty wine glasses. Three cashews in a bowl. An abandoned sweater. When the guests have departed, I remember bits of conversation as I load the dishwasher. The owner of the sweater will need to claim it; I don’t know whose it is.
Stencils on the table. Fabric tossed in a bin. Invoice filed. When I deliver the large commissioned work, I am at a loss. I want to play with color and texture on my own terms. Just for a day.
I make sketchbook covers.
What do you do when the party is over, when the work is done?
