"The artist often finds herself adrift in thought, wandering through daydreams, replaying old conversations until whole periods pass without her remembering what happened. Her body remains, but her mind travels elsewhere. A friend once suggested she anchor herself through her senses. Listening became one of those senses. In the painting, ears are gently obscured, a quiet reminder of how easily the sounds of the world can slip away unnoticed when the mind drifts into the clouds."
