My response to the prompt is that art enriches our lives by stopping us from the daily race, slowing us down and allowing us (calling us) to take a moment to respond/react to the artwork.

My submitted work shows the quick passage of time and the stillness that can be attained when you are able to slow this down or even stop time.  As an artist, when I create – time slows, nearly stops and allows for an altered state of being. As an observer, time slows when I connect to a piece and I am transported to wherever my response to the work takes me.
