Alyssa Morhardt-Goldstein

We like possibility – their hazy shape, a wrist in detail, and what we imagine.

A sketch of a woman, we wanted her to have dark hair and only part of a shoulder, a face. In the
bathroom subway tile mirror, who ever wants the story whole. We want whatever light we throw on her.
