"you don't have a soul. you are a soul. you have a body"-cs lewis  mahatma ghandi. i admire his courage ANONYMOUS XX FROM BREAKING TO HEALING the visual record of dis-eases that affect women in our society universally Anonymous XX is a visual and written account of societal stigmas associated with physical, mental and social diseases that affect women of all races, socioeconomic backgrounds and ages. This project is meant to tell the story of many women/any woman through the story of one. I will interview a woman, teen or girl who has personally been affected by one of the traumas listed. Over a period of 6 months I will then interview individual women or girls affected by each circumstance, document her story and do an artistic form of body casting to reflect that particular dis-ease. It is my hope that by presenting their stories in a humane way that it will bring awareness to both the community and the organizations that support these particular illnesses. Through this experience, the women and girls that participate can confront their own secrets, violations, painful experiences, fears and shame. In showing these stories on a viseral level, I sincerely think our communities will be pushed into a space of healing, growth and awareness. This show will be presented to the pubic through an art show. It is my hope that the storytelling both visually and written will be profound enough that it will tour to other cities. Projects of this magnitude need the support of individuals, communities, small businesses and corporations to bring it to fruition. If you or anyone you know would like to contribute to the success of this project, all contributions are welcome, both financial and public support.$450.00 will fund one interview, one body cast, a venue for the show and give one woman the opportunity to speak for many. I do welcome multiple donors for one cast to total the sum needed. PLEASE CONTRIBUTE.

"Perfumes are the feelings of flowers" - Heinrich Heine "When you have only two pennies left in the world, buy a loaf of bread with one, and a lily with the other" - Chinese Proverb   lotus and dragonfly quilt for my friend is glad i didn't plant my herb garden for the year yet because that storm last night would have taken them out! i need my fresh herbs for all the tasties i'll be making this summer. those who know me know what i'm talking about....on the flip side all the beautiful rain has made the soil more fertile and easier to dig up and get the seeds planted! OOOO WEEE....this could be a metaphor for self....myself. i believe whole heartedly in the healing power of art....you need not be an "artist" or as most people think "draw a straight line". it is about the process of releasing, revealing and discovering......planting seeds. it's one of the gifts i would like to somehow share... | v. kottavei williamsvision is when you see what is invisible to anyone else  CategoriesAll ArchivesMay 2013 SAGE I LOVEzen habitsdeborahgraysonstudiosdesign seedssawrttheyogamamaseth fittsjust making noiseorganicasmbloesomhealing circles |
