OPENING
There are dark, chaotic, destructive forces that exist on a global level. My work joins with the opposite movement, which actively works to counteract, to mend, and to create new patterns of non-violent communication. This happens on an individual level, within our immediate community, and throughout the world. This exhibition is about us… Opening, to new beginnings!
