BIRDIE
Katy GunnView Contributor’s Note

Nevada craftsman Greg Drinkwine uses ancient techniques to carve historically accurate frames. These replace damaged originals in museums.

Once my attention is drawn to the framing I see nothing else. Gaps where the art should be. I pledge aloud my dedication to the men who make frames to keep their treasured objects. He says sidescuttle and scudding and tinkles a mobile of pink sea glass. He found it at the gift shop in a place I wasn’t looking and bought it before we entered the exhibits. Tinkle tinkle I hear in every exhibit and between them as we walk.
