Fall of 2022, with the helped of my esteemed 8 year old companion, I created a piece in 10 parts as a meditation on being a member of a community. Sine Qua Non literally means Without which, not: a part required for completeness. In the community of equals which makes a family of adult children, the community is only complete when everyone is present, when every voice participates. This can seem to be a fleeting and evanescent moment, perhaps a wedding or a holiday, except that we are people of faith. One sister is always there, while she is simultaneously never present. There are many instances when perhaps it would be best if we actually concealed ourselves from each other; few truly authentic moments are shared between us, and yet we only form a unified whole when it is indeed all of us. Without one, the rest are incomplete. Out of many: one. Expect to hear more on this from me in the future.
