and your choice of this quote -

“a faith not that we will know something finally, but a faith in not knowing, a faith in our ignorance, a faith in our being confounded and dumbfounded, a faith fertile with possible meaning and growth.”

I think I can leave the house now...

I grew up on Whidbey and my folks are still there. My mom recently met Mary through her job and told me about this wonderful woman who was apparently well known for her art. It was a pleasure to hear more about her story.

This is one of the best evolutions of early geometric thingy De Stijl like modernism I've seen. of course at 93, she probably had the benifit of hanging out with Max Bill and Mondrian. Groovy. Will look at more of.
