“The Great Beach and Father Sky”
David Wilson shares drawings and watercolors of recent experiences with the dunes, the ocean, the moon, shells, and the sun’s setting.
As a guest to Ocean Beach, I took watch of the land’s last sandy exhale and the sun leaving each day. Nightly I painted the moon, following its full movement.
In course with my own experience of loss, I sat with these emblems of everness and began to clarify a feeling; that wishing something to wait is a hollow prayer. The best we can attempt is to move at the speed of the world and find what we thought was gone in its new place.
