Winter of 2020 was a strange time for me—I am sure for many, 2020 was odd, never turning the way you’d think\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"color_11 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e...\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_7 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"color_11 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eAll the four events I’ve mentioned above somehow to me gave the sensation of burning.

But when I haven’t primed myself for it, if I have the uncertainty, or rather the certainty, of the goodbye being the last one, there’s nothing like it. The sensation of heartache it feels physical, that tearing and searing feeling. Then missing someone, crying, feeling small in this world, hopelessness, it burns.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font_8 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"color_11 wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"wixui-rich-text__text\"\u003eWorks presented at the special exhibition, “Wild Life of Elizabeth Murray and Jessi Reaves”, also have this spark of energy and color that to me felt like burning. My ideas often tend to be scattered and my inspiration may seem chaotic, but the burst of energy and ideas has resulted in a dynamic and lively work. This piece bends several adjectives that resemble a fire, and the process of burning: luminous, flaring, glowing, sparkling.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eBurning cites the changing sensation, from rapture to grief, every sound to deep, unending silence.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/GID9_ehTBps?si=bHOcPb9rkFn3AJao\" title=\"YouTube video player\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Just a Theory Press","offers":[{"title":"Score and Parts \/ Physical Delivery","offer_id":52302879097119,"sku":"JAT-165-016-SP","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Score and Parts \/ PDF Download","offer_id":52302879129887,"sku":"JAT-165-016-SPe","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0777\/1586\/5887\/files\/PagesfromJAT-165-016-SP_Burning_00FullScore_Page_1.jpg?v=1775571757","url":"https:\/\/justatheorypress.com\/products\/burning","provider":"Just a Theory Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
