Elisa H. Hamilton — Noted

I have always been a writer of notes, and have always preferred the living mark on a page to the cursor on a screen. I’ve always loved the written note on paper; tactile evidence of a thought, a task, a day, a life. An intimate marker of time that is both tangible and ephemeral…The pages you see here are notes of writers and writings that have stayed with me, and they are juxtaposed with some of my own personal revelations. This work unfolded out of my own experience of this particular moment —a time of growth, transition, loss, and reforming. Quietly hopeful, these small notes speak to a larger awareness of the fleetingness of each moment. Together, they chart the possibilities of what is to come; they linger here for a while, to remind us of what has been and what still can be. Through this work, I pause, reflect, and push gently forward. —Elisa H. Hamilton
