things change

'Stick Pin'  4.75" sterling silver, stick;  Kathleen Faulkner



Back in the day
when running free was a given 
no worries about touching
or being in close quarters
 a sneeze brought a
'bless you'
a cough meant not too much




Community of stick pins. Kathleen Faulkner

We had our art openings and events 
filled to the brim
hugging and laughing

the good old days. 



'COVID safe' stick pin, 4" sterling silver, paper,
gouache, mica;  Kathleen Faulkner

Today's stick pin is fully covered
for protection
no direct contact
social distancing is currently in place
as it sits in a box 
on a table.

survival tips


'Western Larch' 24x24" oil pastel;  Kathleen Faulkner

The good thing about living on the edge 
is that one must be
flexible.


"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, 
nor the most intelligent;
it is the one most adaptable to change."
Charles Darwin
