Description
In Arrows of Light, Andrea Potos lets us dwell in those fragile moments between day and night, love and loss, living and death. In the stillness of a blue scarf lake, the pale ochre walls of Van Gogh’s rooms, the light that pours through her Yaya’s kitchen windows, Potos takes us to the cusp of the unknowable. Pulled through by the thread of her mother’s illness and eventual death, this small, elegant collection shines its gold light on those stunning, ephemeral details — her mother’s coral lipstick, blueberries like small sapphires, laundry flapping on the line like angel wings — that seem to give us tidings of the world beyond and its fluid relationship with what we know now and will always remember.
