#andreapalladio #architecture
DETAILS: What makes a building inviting? One of the early How-To genres of books on the matter was written by A. Palladio. He provides the "...rules on how to dig a foundation, the quality of cement, along with reliable ways of constructing walls and laying floors." Be sure to watch the quick overview video and then take a deep dive by reading any of his 4 books available at the Smithsonian institute or the many videos devoted to this architectural style on YouTube (see above). When you visit Vicenza, DC, or Venice, you will see many great works created by this famous Italian architect.  #veneto
DETAILS: When I realized we would be living in the Veneto Region, this was where my headspace went...  #olivepreserving
DETAILS: Because we have a small olive grove and cherry trees, it is important to know the process for creating edible art from these delicious fruits. For our purposes, after making visual poetry... we jar the olives and preserve the cherries. ...part of an evocative story handed down over time: the legend of Princess Layana, a dwarf maiden forced to live isolated within the walls of the castle with her dwarf servants. When the prince broke his isolation, the young woman, shocked by the awareness of her own diversity, took her own life, throwing herself from the tower. Her faithful servants, overcome with grief, became petrified, remaining to watch over their beloved mistress eternally." #bericihills #mountberico
DETAILS: On Sunday, the weather cleared so we took a drive to Mount Berico. At the top, there were not only incredible views of the Colli Berici, "Berici Hills," but we caught a quick glimpse of the surrounding the space. Lore of this location tells of apparitions by Mary to a peasant stating that the building of a sanctuary would bring an end to a plague. The resulting Santuario Santa Maria di Monte Berico is a known pilgrimage site where the devoted gather to pray, contemplate, and meditate. As an artist, few places offer such captivating views and inspirational vistas locked rich with cultural significance as Monte Berico. Not far from this location exists Villa Valmarana ai Nani which has a wall and the mysterious legend of the stone wall and 17 stone dwarves. Link to story: Between stone and legend: the 17 Dwarfs – www.villavalmarana.com  #bridgegallery #ashpoetry #maggsvibo
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.  #thebridgegallery #maggsvibo #ashpoetry 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.  #monicasjöö #feministstudies 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. #folkhorror

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.
