“The philosopher Hanna Arendt makes a distinction between ‘the planet’ — which is shaped by natural forces — and the ‘world’ — which is formed through our intentions and acts of culture making. The health of both is necessary to make life meaningful and good. With this work I explore the beauty that we hold in common across cultural divides, among these: linden, oak, a robin’s nest, sweet water trout, and salty sea, music, bowls, a common meal. I worked on this project for a traveling exhibit in Poland. Though it contains words, it is meant to be understood without words, as well.”–(Author).
