Artist’s Note : The Moon and Peonies(2020)
Five peonies open under the full moon. Their shapes are quiet, their presence steady. Between them, a small bud leans forward, not quite blooming, but no longer hidden.
In New Mexico, the moon is almost always clear. I remember the air that night, dry, still, and sharp with light. I found myself sending the moon a quiet plea, not one, but many, as many as the petals.
