In Suspension and more art by Anne Diggory

“In Suspension” began on March 16, when I set off for a day of painting in wilderness isolation. I had just made the stressful decision to cancel my upcoming show at Blue Mountain Gallery due to impending pandemic closures. That day I should have been packing up paintings for the show, but instead I headed for a waterfall within an easy drive, seeking distraction and solace. It wasn’t entirely an escape. Something about the stranded tree trunk resonated with my own sense of time suspended, with reverberations of both sudden catastrophe and the regular flow of natural forces.
