Elaine’s Pendulum

Lee Krasner once likened her work to a pendulum:

“…it seems to swing back to something I was involved with earlier, or it moves between horizontality and verticality, circularity, or a composite of them. For me, I suppose, that change is the only constant.”

As we embark on a new year, ripe with the mysteries of chance and the promises of fate, Lee’s attitude seems a good one to emulate. Her fearlessness and adventurous spirit allowed her to be consistently brilliant, always herself, amidst all of life’s uncertainties.

Luckily, we at the PK House are blessed with one true constant: the steadfast support of our members, visitors, collaborators, and friends. You make this house feel like a home. For this, we are forever thankful.

Thank you all for a wonderful 2024. We look forward to seeing you in 2025!

Sincerely,

Matthew K. Ward
