DETAILS:
​So happy to have 5 pieces of art included in the Bridge Gallery exhibition which will run through 12 May 2025. If you are in Littleton, Colorado, be sure to check out all the art related to their Health Care Injustice art exhibition. Special Thanks to Denver Seminary, Jael Shumaker, and Christy Grosvenor for organizing and curating along with The Gospel Initiative and Denver Seminary Student Life.


DETAILS:
"Healthy living in the United States remains deeply unequal, with racial and economic disparities persisting in healthcare. While mental health awareness is growing, solutions are still scarce amid a widespread loneliness epidemic.

Join us at the Bridge Gallery Art Exhibit, presented by The Bridge Gallery and The Gospel Initiative, where visual arts offer a powerful lens into healthcare injustice.

This thought-provoking collection tackles critical questions such as:

-What role does Christian witness play in healthcare justice?
-What does a healthy life truly look like?
-How can healthcare professionals drive change while avoiding burnout?

Engage with diverse artists and their compelling works in this immersive, conversation-driven experience."

DEATILS: Thank you to @dunoon_moca_ for inclusion of my visual poem "Eat the Rich" in the pop-up art exhibition for ARTIST PROTEST In Words & Images. Art is in response to the oligarchy of Tech Titans feeding world politics.

​DETAILS: Thank you to Jael Shumaker and Christy Grosvenor for inquiring about my OHE art and for the notification that 5 of my artworks were jury selected for the January – May Art exhibition. I hope the discussions amongst students and the public work within the scope of the mission of The Bridge Gallery. I am happy to see leaders in Littleton, CO, continue to learn, engage, and heal our American communities after tragedies. It is always the hope that art can be the bridge for important topics.
Using the themes of Cave, Rest, Journey, and Tightrope, we want to showcase how art highlights the deep differences that remain in healthcare. How does a Christian witness relate to justice in healthcare? How might healthcare professionals work for change in this arena while avoiding the ironically unhealthy outcome of burnout? For those outside of the healthcare industry, what is our role in living a healthy lifestyle and in encouraging a more just healthcare policy? Join us as we discuss these topics and more.
The Bridge Gallery is a space for visual, theological, and cultural dialogue. Artists present concepts and questions through a variety of mediums, addressing the topics of our times. The expressions presented at the Bridge Gallery are not necessarily reflective of the theological or philosophical stances of Denver Seminary yet represent the human struggle towards truth and meaning. The mission of the Bridge Gallery is to prepare Denver Seminary students and the public to engage the world through contemporary art."

MONICA SJÖÖ

DETAILS: It is my hope to continue to share feminist icons in my blog postings, especially those involved in art. I can think of no better way than to feature: Monica Sjöö. Please watch the video and look forward to more stories and resource links in the coming year. Leave a comment!
To me, Sjöö's work embodies everything I want to accomplish (and will fail to accomplish) in a lifetime. I read her book early in my academic journey... stumbled upon her The Great Cosmic Mother and absolutely could not put it down (and probably never will). It was the basis of my exploration throughout my Capstone and has been a guiding text during in key feminist moments in my life. I consider myself a world traveler and throughout these journeys, Sjöö's research is solidified as the truth to all our great mysteries.

    DEAR READER
    Welcome to my literature, music, and visual poetry project. My blog represents a method for deciphering the fragments left behind in the Anthropocene. Writers use ashes as a metaphorical device in storytelling. Have you ever wondered about the symbolism of ashes? Archaeological fragments of tablet, papyrus, bone, scroll, and pottery are recognizable the world over. In our digital era, however, our lost folkloric works disintegrate into dust. In this sense, I consume the silver flakes and use my he{art] as a vessel to rise from dystopic wastelands. I share lore through the oral tradition. Ashes to Ashes we continue on ∞ to infinity ∞ We are ash. We are stories. We are star dust. We are eternal.​
