In speaking about how we arrived at our pairings, we started
in a very literal sense—the colors and shapes and how there was an almost
magnetic pull between the art forms. But then inevitably the conversation would
go beyond that connection, to the very experiences that shaped the pieces and
poems—the natural world, on being a woman in mid-life, family, on losing
parents, on jobs, bonfires, and so much more. To us, these matchings feel
personal and political, and the process by which they came together, deeply
mysterious and humbling.
The exhibit at the Hammond Museum also continues until September.
