This is a copy of a photo that Kate did for the opening of the IWU gallery. It was the first piece the gallery sold. She has a name for it, which I can't recall. I think it should be labeled "Leap of Faith". It also reflects the place where artists live... in between. It is a place of neither here nor there, then or now. It is a peaceful place of "1/2 way" where the mind can relax, to listen and create, to let what needs to, come out. When my children were little, and I was the last to come upstairs to bed, I would love to sit on the stairs, just 1/2 way up.... thinking of the day. It was a place of nowhere.... a place of the moment. Our cat would sit with me, waiting.... in the "in between'".
The girl in this shot was REALLY standing there on cinder blocks on the stairs, They were edited out for the final look. The sky was that ominous.
