The VERDEBLACK works resonated with
X
spectrograms of bird songs:
graphs that show you the frequency, or pitch,
of a sound,
its loudness, and how these change
over the course of the sound;
X
electrocardiograms of the heart:
recordings of the electrical activity of the heart
over a period of time
X
polygraphs of a lie detector tests:
recording the person’s breathing rate,
the person’s pulse,
the person’s blood pressure
and
the person’s perspiration.

The VERDEBLACK series is dedicated to my BGB,
my O- sister, a soul friend since
we were TEN years old!
X
Our friendship has a remarkable soul,
and is a testament and the blessed gift
of an enduring/dynamic/evolving friendship.
I am describing my cherished friend – the unique,
sparkling jewel; irreplaceable Sher.
X
Our friendship is an immeasurable,
sacred garden of all seasons
– ever blooming and an awakening of blessings and love.
X
Her most favored color is green, of course…
