"My stool creaks in the slate-gray silence. I stretch, then turn once again to stare at the partially finished canvas. A single desk lamp bathes the picture in a soft light. Shadows dance outside of the light's glow as I attempt to imagine what my mother was creating when she placed the geometric lines on the canvas over a grayish-black background. Some of them, around the edge of the canvas, are thick and strong. Others move at a diagonal and seem to fade into the empty white area in the center of the work, as if disappearing into some mysterious place that only an artist could understand." -Verify by Joelle Charbonneau
