» Annalea May Van Nes

“As I unwillingly stumble into adulthood I am learning to build walls, to shut up childish tendencies; to conceal passion or fear in its unruly excess; protect my precious image. Yet these are the very things that make me real. They toss and turn and pull us in all kinds of directions. The things that writers scribble into words and composers pull out of the notes of a piano. But instead, the image of a figure, existing in a space, in order to summon a metaphor, is what I contribute to the reliving of something organically human.”   -Annalea May Van Nes
