Description
Drawn in 1976, during a week Zoë spent in the Appalachian Mountains with her friend Kathleen — who had moved there to find love and found isolation instead. Zoë drove there to convince her to leave and come back to Florida.
Kathleen described Zoë drawing at the open front door of the cabin: face close to the paper, a cool breeze through her hair, an orange sky behind her. The reflection in the gold pan was added only at the very end, after a long silence — as if Zoë felt she needed something more to say.
At the end of the week, Kathleen went back to Florida with Zoë.
