REPOST from @prettyportugueseflower: “When I was at @hewnoaks In solitude I could listen to myself and noticed I was afraid of the dark and didn’t know how to transition into this different environment. I used my art and things around me to process this and I started this cut paper collage that acted as protection for me. The angel in the center is a painting of a pin I bought at the church thrift store up the street but I painted her brown to be my grandmother and I wore it as a reminder that she was there. There are elements in here of the pattern designs on the viking court walls…I drew branches and flowers that grew around my house and if you look, you’ll see quotes from a book on boundaries I was reading. I could cry, I didn’t want to ever leave and by the end of my time I had zero fear , I layed I’m the woods alone in the dark and got to enjoy how beautiful that is.”

REPOST from @marci_spier: I think I heard the words muttered - “it’s a prayer”, small voices whispered to something higher - I’m so grateful to have unexpectedly been tossed into the company of incredible artists, meaningful conversation and a very healing experience - just want the doctor/fountains/teachers/mountains ordered. Sometimes you don’t really know what you need until you are smack dab in the center of it…like a hug! Thank you @hewnoaks #hewnoaks
