VERDIGRIS

 

Margaret Fielding's entire

adult life has been spent in

a wheelchair. She can

barely move a muscle.

But that doesn't stop her

from throwing the lives

of a half-dozen people

into the air and twirling

them like saucers in a

circus act. "Verdigris"

can be defined as corrosion.

But it also glows in beauty.
