These are dry times. Summer slips away faster than you can catch it – a dime down the drain. The sky hangs damp and icy today. Across the globe, powerful little men toy with the world’s future like it’s a game of chicken. Hurricanes have ravaged large parts of our earth. Families will suffer the effects for years to come. Terrorists won’t let London sleep.
This planet can get so ugly. So broken. So disordered. So many of our mirrors are shattered.
There is order in beauty. A divine order, I believe, but whatever your theology you can feel it. The affirmation of disparate parts falling into place.
Jennifer Berkenbosch’s Cultivar matters because the world needs beauty today. We need to be reminded that there is goodness. There is a solid bed beneath this wild river.
I first heard about Found Wanting over a year ago. I've been wanting to visit the exhibit ever since.
Thanks to a connection with Kings University, I get to see the exhibit tomorrow night. You, of course, can join me to experience this unique and painstaking exploration of 'Grief and Gratitude'. This massive undertaking from Betty Spackman also addresses our relationships to the animals we consume and share our planet with.
