For Those Who Spoke
"But for Those Who Spoke For Us, Shall we speak but comfortably and quietly In the sight of things we will no longer claim our own in our shame," that she asks.
Written on the gravestones of a recent image I intuited, these words bend light in my mind and heart, asking me where I need to go. They make me wonder what the same words might speak to you. How will they permutate in your heart and mind?
Process art has become my passion. “Process art” (...as opposed to “product art” where the goal of your work is the end product...) doesn’t ask us to deliver anything but our own intuition and collective consciousness through our hands. In this daring exploration, we allow ourselves to tap the well of all that has been, is, and will be. In the phrase above, captured by the graves of heroines past, I hear a challenge asking if we are still speaking our truths. Have we honored what has been claimed and fought for before we inherited the torch? Do we continue to honor ourselves and our keep with the fierce respect we deserve? Do we hear our ancestors’ proud voices still reverberating courage and vision to propel our future? These are the things I hear my creative-intuitive-self being asked to answer. What is the ugly truth? This is where “The Relevant Revolution” calls.
