JEWISH ART LAB 2021
Title: Remnants of a Dream
Medium: Archival Digital Print
Remnants of a dream, taken
like stolen artifacts
from a place of frozen winter
and parched ground summer,
Flashback lodged in the back room
of hopes no more.
Abandoned farm houses remained on the vast horizons like bookmarks in the stories of time. This was the last day of a final journey from my father’s house in California after his death and all that followed.
The bed in this image was an incidental finding in the only old structure I stopped to explore. It stood at the end of a narrow road several miles from the Interstate near Wall, South Dakota. The thought of my father’s last night was seared in my mind. And I was here saying good bye again.
