Remembering Childhood

“I can remember the feeling of swinging—how hard we would work for those split seconds, flung at furthest extension, just before the inevitable downward and backward pull, when we felt momentarily free of gravity, a little hiccup of suspension when our hands loosened on the chain and our torsos raised off the seat.  We were sailing, so inside the motion—time stopped—and then suddenly rushed again toward us.  We would line up on the playground and try to touch the sky, alone together.”

—Artist Ann Hamilton’s Childhood Memory
