In adversity art always comes to the rescue. Stella, I hope things get sorted. Love the video and can relate to it. It happens quite often in India as well. Hold, hold, hold and then it gets disconnected.

I felt all of this! I had an evening of anger and aggravation this week after spending time on the phone with my insurance trying to sort out why a provider was billed as out-of-pocket when their website has him listed as an in-network provider. I still having gotten the issue resolved (which is holding up some reimbursements), but I have decided to do all that I can and let it go.

Wow, Stella, art out of what is unarguably a major life hardship, that is so impressive! And I wish you some good news and improvement in the wake that trails after the turmoil :(

The video is fantastic - the feeling of being trapped in hold-limbo really came through, and I found myself drawn into the details of each collage while already looking forward to the next twist!

I've been having the same frustration with the IRS. It's maddening! – the complete lack of control that you feel. But at least you got some amazing collages out of it 😊

I'm sorry to hear you've had such a sh*tty week. I really hope things get sorted out for you. But, I'm overjoyed with these collages! Each one is gorgeous! And, I'm so happy to hear that you find the process of making them as meditative and cathartic as I do.

I’ve been away so am late reading this. I do so hope that everything got resolved ok. Sigh… Thanks so much for your positivity and your amazing art. That collage video was beautifully done. I love that this has had such a positive effect on your mental health in such frustrating times. And the final phone video!!! Haven’t phones changed dramatically over the years!! A very cool history lesson and a fun watch. Sending heaps of hugs and best wishes. 🤗🤗😘💕
