Public Animas Ceremony Part 5b(7): Art. Let It In. (And Celebrate the Artists: HPS CC)

Continued lessons from the Public Animas Ceremony: An Invitation to Passion.

If The Vision is true, it will find the right people. Celebrate them.

With great regularity I come across fundraisers, auctions, art shows, etc. featuring varied artworks where there is no mention of the artist contributor as a person. A name, yes. Maybe it is the animist in me, but when I experience art, it usually makes me want to know more about the artist. I think the humans behind the art should be celebrated as much as their work. So, in an effort to do so, we created laminated biographies to accompany each of the bowls that were created for this ceremony. Since the bowls were auctioned off as part of the don't-let-your-ceremony-bankrupt-you strategy, each person who took home a bowl also took home something to help them "know" the artist better. It's all about relationship.

For the next few entries, I will be including the biographies of our artists in an effort to further celebrate them & express our gratitude. Also included are the statements they provided (if provided) about their piece for the Animas Ceremony: An Invitation to Passion.

About this piece:
I was inspired by a picture and quote that was on a UU program. It has graced the front of my refrigerator, inspiring me daily for some time now..I thought it might be nice to share.....The outside of the bowl..The night sky..The Universe.

If The Vision is true, it will find the right people. Celebrate them.
