The Water Carriers

While dropping off an art postcard for the A.I.R. Gallery's upcoming benefit exhibition, I happened upon The Water Carriers, a collaborative installation created by the Marymount School community with students from the Tunza 2004 UN Children's International Conference on the Environment in conjunction with the Earth Child Institute. It was a moving exhibition, raising awareness of gender and political issues surrounding water. It's a subject I've been dealing with in my Sacred Water Vessels, on a much more personal vs. global level. Exit Art has a call for proposals for "The Drop" to explore issues of water, to which I've submitted one, and have another brewing. So water is on my mind and I will blog more about when I next get back to the virtual world. At the moment, the real world is calling.
