Water Works is my collection of select works I engaged in between Spring of 2018 and Springtime of 2020.
I performed an art ritual/installation called “Slowly, Painfully, and by Poison” at Hart-Witzen Gallery, in protest of the proposed fracked-gas Atlantic Coast Pipeline. (The pipeline was officially cancelled in 2020.)
I organized and facilitated a Grief Tending & Resilience workshop around Samhain time, and danced a Grief Dance as part of an exhibition fundraiser for a local performing arts organization.
I made fiber art in the form of blue arashi shibori dye work, and a grief tapestry. I designed a collection of upcycled clothing based on Honey Bees and Water Justice. I took photographs when I visited Rivers to make offerings. I let off a lot of tears, I experienced loss, and I spent time with humans and non-humans who were also feeling deeply and experiencing tectonic emotional transformation.
It is no wonder why this timeline in my life is made up of potent mist. Most of us lost linear time in 2020, for obvious reasons.
