Mourning the loss of Amy Zimmerman
With the the Passing of Amy Zimmerman, mother of my child Elle Lynch, I am in deep morning.
The day begins with the cats waking me at 6am, my hungry alarm clock. We acquired the brothers three weeks before Amy got sick. They were a gift to Elle.
Now, life without Amy couldn't be without them. They show so much love and affection. they are Elle's lovers. Seriously!
I am adapting to a new life without Amy......
I do much of my art planning and some printing and painting from home.
I still go to the studio butt haven't done a long day and night at the studio for over four months.
All the mundane things I took for granted over the last 25 years with Amy are consuming me,
vacuuming, cleaning dishes, feeding the cats twice a day, changing the kitty litter, doing the laundry.
How is there any time let to do construction and work at my studio???
Restructure, restructure and restructuring....
Elle and I are in morning. We breakdown and cry every day...
Does life continue after life? Does the spirit live on in the ones who new her?
I am currently working on work for an upcoming show which was originally scheduled for April 2021.
My Solo show has been rescheduled to July 15th, 2021
