You are invited to share with other island dwellers. In this collaborative process, you will also be assisting me in my semester's work. I am working on a Masters of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Arts through Goddard College's west coast cohort.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
We share a sense of living in a place surrounded by water. How does that force work in your life? How connected do you feel to the land and in what ways? Has this changed over the years? Do you attune to the natural world more or less than before? You may want to consider isolation vs. community and how that is for you on your island. What are your concerns right now about social justice and sustainable practices? In what ways do you make a stand? Loudly? Quietly, behind the scenes? Do you make a distinction betwee creative practices and spiritual practice?Most of all, I wonder how creative processes, connection to other-than-human life, and spirituality work in the daily lives of Island Women of all generations.
Let's begin from a non-verbal place for the Island Invitational. The other phase of the project is "making." Please make something small - 2" x 2" up to 12" x 12" - using color, collage, assemblage/found objects, clay, sculpture, digital image, woven natural materials, painting, drawing, poetry, writing........you get the idea. Something that expresses you in a way that words cannot. I would love to have objects for an installation piece. If I can exchange mail information, maybe that could happen. Otherwise we can create a virtual gallery. Please post the results here with your thoughts by November 1.
Several people are concerned about posting directly online as a contributor. I will contact people with the option to bring, email or mail the Island project to me.
I will be adding names in continuously, so that we can have many islanders take part.
Thank you for being part of the process!!! More later.....
