What surprising, fascinating stuff can you tell us about the origin, drafting, and/or final version of “Easter Sunday”? The idea of a triptych appealed because it seemed rare for a piece of writing to show its own sketches. Working on the side panels reminded me to look behind and under every thing before assuming to know it. Writing in this way made me remember that loving the sea is something that can only be done in triptych.
