and : gloria lamson!!

As an artist, teacher and creativity coach, Gloria Lamson, engages art as a vehicle of transformation and a tool of connection that holds the potential of awakening deeper awareness.  Motivated by the desire to reconcile spirit and matter, she weaves between metaphysical references and mundane materials, finding kinship within the field of ‘social sculpture’.
She explores change as it reveals itself through natural forces and illuminates change as it relates to human experience.  With these intentions she creates temporary site-specific installations in nature and architectural environments using natural and common human materials, which she documents with still photographs. Engaging the confluence of time and place with simple forms she seeks to renew our connection to what is essential within, between and around us.

Regarding Change
a series of installations in various locations
Rarely do we meet the times when our life falls apart with joy. 

We sense what is lost more easily than what wants to be born. 

In hindsight we might see how new possibilities grew out of the uncertain space of chaotic ground; like plants emerging from the earth made rich with the decay of past growth.

I question how we might generate some antidote to our fears and resistance to change?

Wonder about...

  Holding others and ourselves, kindly, in our disarray.

  Practicing curiosity during the often-disconcerting transformative process,

which defies our attempts at control.

Remembering we are more than the structures, which have previously contained us and
     that we too are part of the natural world, subject to the laws of regeneration and change.
