With everything you can think of, and plenty that you would not even dare dream of, the series of events during this pandemic continue to dance all around, and with us.

"Mindscape 4"

$355

Artist: Sam Kimball

Inspiration: I often like to explore the idea of landscapes as they are boiled down to the essentials of horizon and sky. I like to abstract shapes and fields and play with textures and layers, so that the pieces can function as both abstractions and representations. The viewer can enter the piece on their own terms, making of it what they wish.

"Time for Golden Hour"

Inspiration: This is one of my favorite angles of Boston, where the Custom House Tower fits perfectly between these two buildings. In this moment from a recent drive, as I looked up from the darkness, my eyes gravitated to the beautiful golden sunlight cast upon the clocktower and it brought me hope amidst our current world. This structure has been here for over 100 years, standing tall and strong, ever turning towards the future. It got me thinking about the passing of time; how fast it can go, how life changing it can be, and also how important this period of slowing down is. We're going through a historic moment in human history... now more than ever we must show our strength, courage, and passion to keep moving forward, through this time, together.

"Stop at the State House"

Inspiration: While on an observational drive through the city, the emptiness of the streets was powerful and spoke deeply to me. I'm usually in awe at the contrast of old and new architecture in Boston, but here, the stark contrast of an empty city is what caught my attention. For me, this is an incredibly moving image not simply because of its quietness, but moreover because it shows our strength and our collective willingness to stay home for the greater good of everyone. I choose to see hope, hear gratitude, and feel love when I look at it. The streets will be full again one day, when the time is right, but for now we have this moment to shift our perspective and maybe see the world a bit differently.

"Father and Son"

$165

Artist: Sam Kimball

"Grains of Sand"

$415

Artist: Sam Kimball

Inspiration: This is another piece exploring the father and child connection, as it relates to families traveling across borders, immigrating here, or anywhere safe. In this one, the father walks slightly ahead of the child, and seems preoccupied, as if he's looking at something in his hands, grains of sand perhaps, from the desert- like terrain they are traversing. They are connected, likely by blood, certainly in their journey, and perhaps at the same time each traveling independently, each with their own thoughts accompanying their steps forward to somewhere unknown, but hopeful.

"Lovely Sunset"

$265

Inspiration: I took a photo of a sunset at a local pond which silhouetted the leaves and shrubbery in front of me.

This is my interpretation of my heart hugging a sunset and the reminder that no matter what happens there is still beauty in each day to behold.
