She took a line from a Yeats poem and titled her book with it. It means the slow coming of an apocalyptic revelation. Yes, upset about the war in Ukraine but In this piece, it’s human disappointment in matters of the heart. I want too much, too late but am contenting myself with art and friendship. My dog, Diego, helps. @theartofwright 🇺🇦 #friendship #portraits #selfportrait #2022 #mattersoftheheart #bruteart #rawartist #loveyourself #ukraine
