Hellooooo out there. My name is Katherine Emery. I love palindromes and the smell of tomatoes in early summer. 28 days ago I lived in San Francisco. Today I live on an island in Maine. The invited me to share my photo project—Other Sick in the Time of Covid—created in the Spring of 2020. I said yes—which is a direct result of the program itself. I have learned that I cannot create, thrive, nor live, in a vacuum.
Before I said yes, though, I hesitated because the project I created between early March to end of May 2020 feels myopic, merely two months later. I work these days —and every day—to see and engage outside of my narrow perspective. So I thank you for taking the time to look into mine. Take my hand, it’s warm.

Ps. Thank you ever and always for your grace and vigor as our cohort leader.
