- - Creative Call to Action - -
Consider ART as a verb
What would the world look like if, as humans, we thought of ourselves as companion species? Can acts of creative collaboration help heal broken bonds with the environment and with each other?
Through national and international participation, the artwork will become a temporary monument to collective relationship and collaborative handwork, bringing audiences into a tactile encounter with critically relevant issues of protection, shelter, reciprocity, sustenance, exchange, power, action, stewardship, wildness, kinship, vulnerability, and ferocity.
The final piece will be a 16' by 9 1/2' tall wolf with the stitched bandanas as its hide, and will be designed to easily collapse and travel. This project is being created in partnership with the Portland Garment Factory, a woman-owned and environmentally conscious garment studio.
