Hello, My name is Dylan Ashton, I'm from the Philly area, but I've been working this school year as a teacher/researcher in just outside of Paris, France in a neighborhood called Saint-Ouen. Because of the Covid-19 outbreak I've decided to stay in France a little while longer so that I can avoid the risk of infecting loved ones in my home in Pennsylvania. I have attached to this document two poems and a two photos about my experiences having to leave Paris without saying goodbye because of the quarantine and moments in quarantine when we can be grateful for the people we've known. Photo 1. Breakfast with you (3600.jpeg) Photo 2. Le ciel au dessus // the sky above (3616.jpeg) Poem 1. and here I am Poem 2. Que je n'ai pas envie de te quitter I can't wait to be back in Philly. I hope everyone on the team is safe and healthy. Warmest regards, Dylan Ashton @dlyan_ahston #lettersfromthestudiochallenge #lettersfromthestudio #philasculptors #phillyart #phillystudio #submission #artiststudio #covid19 #letters #studiosharing #studiochallenge #stayathomestudio
