We joined a local community supported agriculture farm this year. For the summer season we enjoyed picking vegetables from the farm. It was an amazing experience to be able to have access to fresh produce. I also made mason jars full of pickled vegetables.
From my sporadic experience in my home garden, I’m very much aware how hard it is to grow food. But I know that it is important to have healthy food according to our needs in harmony with nature. The local farm allows us to be a part of the soil and the local economy.
I’m mentioning this here because to me art making also allows us to have access to dynamics of nature and what it is to be humans at very deeper levels.
When I started art I felt that art saved my life. It gave me a place to be in this world. It still gives me the feeling that I’m glad to be alive.
