Quotes by Joni Tevis (?)

“Take this a step further, when an image pierces the memory and bounces off an answering memory from the past, or a vision of the future. The optical phenomenon of iridescence—rainbows arcing from peacocks or blue morphos—begins with repeated reflections from translucent, ridged surfaces; when the viewer moves, the colors seem to change. The iridescence of memory happens when one image (physical) illuminates another (imagined): not quite a reflection, but a refraction. These visions, these flashes of color come again and again. How then must I live?”
― Joni Tevis, The Wet Collection: A Field Guide to Iridescence and Memory

“I was able to see the love of God paving the world around me but I distrusted this knowledge because it was concrete.”
