Held by the Earth
This collection of works has emerged from a deepening relationship and reverence for the earth and for our human bodies (which are made of that same earth). We are held, we hold. Woven through it are themes of tending- to the cycles and seasons of life, to our own beings, to that which is difficult to hold. Attuning to the tides and the cycles of the moon brings a rhythm to our own bodies, a belonging, a seasonality, that holds and tends. A poem I wrote years ago now, still speaks to this work:
The earth is alive,
a matrix of belonging,
breathing us in, out.
From our belonging we breathe.
May these images offer nourishment to your own being and reverence for your earthen body.
