Life/death/life… our natural drive to keep going is always intertwined with endings: The lettuce you massacred for lunch, the corporation that’s giving everyone cancer, the global heatwave that may just snuff us out.
It’s hard to feel it right now, but these endings will be followed by beginnings. And I’m going to keep making art about that. I’ve decided that I’m gonna go out singing (and fighting for the light) until my last breath!
Who’s with me?
The great life/death/life cycles are what this new, in-progress sculpture is about.
(The bunny one will fire in the same colors as the ram, later this week!)
Canopic jars are found in Egyptian tombs and were used to hold the organs of the deceased to keep them safe for your rebirth in the afterlife. As such, they are also handy symbols of renewal and fertility.
I constantly ask myself: why am I making art while our world burns?
Today’s meditation walk answered: If not this, then what? If not me, then who? If not now, then when?
The birds will keep singing and I will keep making. I hope you will keep doing what you do best.
We need you.
