"Ask the Angels" by Richard F. Yates (HF)

[Various brush pens, metallic markers, paint pens, and liners on reclaimed cardboard with digital embellishments.] In this piece, a strange thing happens to a young person out taking photographs in the sun... For reasons only her therapist might understand, her camera begins to take images of not just the world she can see with her eyes, but the spirits residing beneath that world, as well, which are always there but usually invisible. There are demons, a spirit bull, and the true nature of the sun is revealed to her, too (it's clock-work), along with an astral-projecting imp seeking a deeper connection to nature---or a flower for his sweetheart... After taking some ibuprofen when she returned home, shaken but excited, the spiritual connection was broken, and the camera was just a camera from that moment on... ---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
