Shaping a Creative Life

An Exhibition by the Faculty and Staff of the Department of Art and Art History • Catherine G. Murphy Gallery, Saint Paul, MN
Attentive Distraction 

I see life as an attentive distraction of endless moments. It is my life, I want to be attentive to it, and I want to be present for it. Sometimes, the present is complicated. So, I distract myself.
