Art That Speaks: Rising Up Art Draws Crowds
As we reach the mid-point in the summer, and endure the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, Art on the Trails has been a popular destination. In a time when most galleries are closed, an outdoor show is the closest many people can get to art this summer. We have seen record visitors, and now, poets are out visiting and writing work in response to the art.
This slide show provides a glimpse into the show.
Rising from the Ashes Mandala
Pamela Esty | Rising from the Ashes Mandala | Ashes, wagon rim, branches and flower petals | Not For Sale | The burning of this fire circle to honor our collective rite of passage in the time of the corona virus occurred on May 1, celebration of Beltane or Bright Fire. Messages for protection of all beings were included in the burn. The metal wagon rim, placed on top of the pile descended slowly to earth as fire transformed wood to ash and smoke carried messages to the sky. You are invited to walk through or around the fire circle in honor your personal transformation and rite of passage during this Coronated time.
