Very happy to be contributing again to The Laboratory Arts Collective's biannual magazine. The latest edition is themed, HUE. "Pink in an Emergency (Funny Weather)" emerged having read Oliver Laing's "Funny Weather: Art in an Emergency" only a few weeks after Covid-19 enforced the shut down on the East Coast. Laing's collection of essays are a cry to action, to hope and possibility, amidst a magnitude of global emergencies. Not only is the writing a a vital and needed call to the power of creativity during times of crises but the cover is almost a perfect sugared almond pink. On reading the book I counted 32 sentences that included the word pink. I gathered them all to create a new narrative, which pays homage to an inspiring book and to the power of pink-ness.
