ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Susan Holtz

 Cloud Illusions © Susan Holtz

I find this deceptively simple image, whose title was derived from the Joni Mitchell song 'Both Sides Now,' quietly moving.  It was made as a response to one of my photo assignments in an online photo class yet goes so far beyond whatever assignment prompt she was given to become almost iconic. I can't stop looking at it, and when I do I find myself wanting to return to that space with depth beyond the four corners that try to contain it. each time I do return I am rewarded with a renewed sense of calm that I'm not finding in the world these days. ■
