My piece about Beth Duerr’s graphite drawings appears in this issue of Passing Notes. It’s available to purchase now. Passing Notes is an exercise in collaboration; a melding of unique new voices bouncing off of each other in order to interpret the echoes. We are not writers. Rather, we are artists who write. We are peers holding hands in the dark leading each other to where our instincts and our insights take us. Though we aim for expertise, we are not experts. We are pioneers attempting to navigate our thoughts, our communities, and the nature of the new world we reside in.
