Tromp


TC2 Jacquard weaving, steel, cherry log74” x 42” x 17”2024



















I hear him tromp, tromp, tromp over leaves in his way,

But when I go to snag the last glimpse of his white-tipped tail,

Blue has long since wandered into my grandfather’s woods

Weaving between limbs until I wonder about him no more. 

Both just a remembrance in grief of where I am

Trying to find dogs long dead and forests almost forgotten.
