“Among Trees” / “The Heart is a Bee Hive”
Collaborators’ Q&A: Artist Elizabeth Terhune: It surprised me that the poet would pair that kind of force with a drawing that I think of as essentially lyric. I find the combination really exciting. Poet Cindy St. John: I’m always attracted to beauty in violence, or violence in beauty. This piece has an ethereal movement to it, in the paint itself and in the winged creatures hovering around the imprint of a gun. I felt connected to that tension.
