Sky Hopinka, The clouds are too dull this time of year. It's late June and I'm full of anger and hate. They think we're trash, they think we're as useless as our garbage buried in their fields turned up under plow, exposed in heavy rain. It makes me angry to think about that. To feel like that. Under plow and over plowed and plowed over by machines dredging and weeding through the hills and the fields and my family and my home., 2020, inkjet with hand-scratched text, 17 x 17 inches
Sky Hopinka, O! Being here right now, not thinking of yesterday or the day before. But a long time ago last night aunty mentioned today and the rain falling and streaking against the upstairs window as Stacey and I looked down at the birch waiting to be climbed. This isn't the outside, and being here then felt more comfortable, in slicks and hoods, in boots and in our youth., 2020, inkjet with hand-scratched text, 17 x 17 inches

Sky Hopinka, I think of my home tonight. I don't have any resolutions, but I've felt so much through these streets, these neighborhoods.
