count all the days

count all the days by Susan Barry-Schulz

visual art

This piece is a 4" x 4" analogue collage on canvas from a series in which I incorporate a fragment of text from a page of "Daily-Life Language Series, Book One"; a children's textbook from 1931, into small works. My collages are assembled from magazine and catalogue scraps which I tear or cut and keep in an unmanageable number of cardboard boxes in my studio.

Susan Barry-Schulz (she/her) is a first generation Estonian-American poet and visual artist who grew up just outside of Buffalo, NY. She practiced as a physical therapist for many years before becoming disabled by chronic illness in 2020. Her work has been nominated for multiple Pushcart Prizes and Best of the Net awards and has appeared in Quartet, The Westchester Review, Rust & Moth, SoFLoPoJO, and in many other print and online journals and anthologies.
