Artist Walk & Talk        2PM           Saturday       May 28
May begins in celebration of mothers and mothering and ends in honoring the memory of those who lost their lives in war. Most notably, Memorial Day was born out of the embers of the Civil War.  This year, across the country,  observances of the 150th anniversary of the Civil War are taking place.

Poem of Stone and Bone: Make Her of Mystery is a work of celebration and remembrance. My residency at the James W. Washington House and Studio has provided a foundation and font for work that draws upon these elements.  Mr. Washington’s studio and garden provide the perfect setting. I hope to see you there.
Best regards,

Carletta

None some may say, it’s self-justifying. But then it becomes an absolute unto itself which can be used to justify many different things, some questionable. Why not come right out at the beginning and say what you’re really for?
The primary purpose of seeking greater bioregional identity and autonomy is to serve the life of the place and its people as a whole. Indeed, the primary purpose of Politics is to serve the life of the place and its people on many levels in an equitable and sustainable way.
