Barbara Earl Thomas Cut Out at the Seattle Art Museum

Escape to the art museum, one last time

Art brings me solace, especially during this tumultuous time. Mid-November, before the art museum was shuttered again, I managed to escape from the house to walk through the Barbara Earl Thomas exhibit. The quiet rooms filled with backlit cut outs inspired me - and somehow brought a moment of peace.

More Barbara Earl Thomas cut outs, made me think of our children.

This piece reminded me of my son and of all the hopes and dreams that have been put on pause during this crazy pandemic.
