The event will be held in person at the Neilson Library and virtually via Zoom. Attendance is free, but registration is required. For details and registration, please click here.
Water, my book from the Elemental series is featured in Water Is… an exhibition at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art through June 27, 2021.
Water can move from solid to liquid to gas and exists on, in, and over the earth in these three states. In religion and mythology, water symbolism relate to creation, passages, wisdom, and purification. It not only has the potential to heal and to quench, but also to cause devastation. Water features stories about passages, purification, knowledge, and wisdom.
in Water, each accordion page features a story and together they unfold to give a waterfall effect. The first story is an account of a swimming lesson. The second story features a story of the transformative power of touch in the form of hair washing. The final story is an abstract account of passages.
Water is an edition of 4.
