A small painting I did while in Crosby, Minnesota (my dad’s hometown) back in 2001, a few weeks before I met my lovely luv.
I used this image as paradise for the last hyperlink in a poem I wrote in the voice of an old Ainu woman, but I am not content yet, suspect I exoticize her voice too much, when what I wanted to do was empathize…needs work. I did this for my Text & Technologies class, which, BTW, was a lot of fun. I just wish I had more know-how, so I could make things look less simplistic. Step-by-step…
You can see the poem (and other stuff) here.
