Collaborating Women Part II
Nudes by Emily Stedman and Captions by Remington Write
In 2014, I had the great good fortune to meet acclaimed watercolorist, Emily Stedman, who wanted more than simple captions for her most recent series. She wanted narrative. Collaborating Women is the result of our work together which was exhibited at Noho M55 Gallery in January, 2015.
Just like her mother and grandmother Linda is hidden royalty. Draping the new silky scarf over her head she knows that. With both feet planted solid and strong she is the queen in this kingdom.
She can love where fear picks at the edges.
There are many who can’t and there is not a thing to do but to keep loving them and keep ruling with her gentle touch.
Linda eases into each next day quietly certain that all is as it should be no matter how it looks here on the ground. Now centered again, breathing easy and free, Linda’s world is set to rights again…..for at least the next several deep exhalations.
As it will be again tomorrow.
