altostratus: an allegory
2020

Altostratus clouds are grey or blue grey. The sun or moon may shine through these clouds but it’s signaling that a storm is on the way. This is a piece involving movement, sound, and text. It is meant to hold a space for reflection, to consider what hangs above us and how it all may fall.
