Last night there was another evening in the artists studio, He is still perfecting his wooden relief. This sculpture is based on the photograph of young woman who was murdered in Ausschwitz during the second world war in the middle of the last century.
A bottle of wine was consumed, and methods for safely storing the small wooden sculptures were discussed.
The artist spent some time looking for the picture that he used as a source for his work. It was lying in plain sight on the table with a handwritten note on top of it which was in a slightly smaller format.
This morning was difficult, and it was easy to apportion the blame for the situation. Down in the kitchen the wife refused to talk to her husband and attempted to act as if he was not there. Breakfast prepared, repair upstairs. Meanwhile, she has gone to work, gone to follow some occupation about which she will not speak. Take a shower, the warm water washes away the discomfort of the morning.
The Argentine is a matter of concern, his cancer diagnosis is awkward to deal with, he is here in a town where he has few friends, there is no idea as to how to deal with this. There is no wish to leave him to loneliness but being the only friend nearby is not easy either.
