Also, Walter Mason, a mindfulness teacher who has visited Vietnam more than 20 times and went on a retreat in Hong Kong led by Thich Nhat Hanh.

It formulates an important reflection of the enormous reverberation that Buddhist dharma has had on an ostensibly materialistic, atheistic westernised culture.<br /><br />Buddhism rarely seeks to convert. It does not, in most traditions, claim to be a religion or a dogma, but rather it informs, flavours and engages with the questions we invariably confront within our lives. This exhibition provides its audience with an abundance of entry points from the perspectives of 13 artists, two curators and three guest writers.<br /><br />...<br /><br />Sydney-based artist Kath Fries’ tender sculpture, Hold Dear, a magnolia branch, partially cast in bronze, brings to mind the Japanese practice of kintsugi in which ruptures or imperfections are considered to be part of the continuation of an object, rather than a mark of its demise. For Fries, the branch commemorates the passing of her father, marking her willingness to absorb the continuation of her relationship with him in whatever form it manifests, even if that means relinquishing the safety of what we think we know of the duality of life and death.<br /><br />...

Going for a walk has become a privilege and our appreciation of this simple freedom has grown accordingly. Walking is an act of touching the Earth, a series of rhythmic repeated acts connecting your body to the ground. Each breath brings the world, and the present moment, into your body, and then it releases the body back into the world in a continuous cycle of exchange. To walk mindfully rather than rushing from one place to another, is to walk meditatively, opening your awareness to the metabolism that exists between yourself and your surroundings.</span></span></p><div><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); color: #767676; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">As part of Cementa's Spirit of '21, you are invited to join me on a collective act of meditative walking - <i>Walkdown in Lockdown</i>. I will guide you through an experience of mindful walking, coaching you to focus your thoughts and embodied attention. Along with a cohort of fellow travellers – each in their own world, breath, footfalls and body’s momentum – you will be moving across the ground in front of you and through the air around you. This movement is not just the mind slowing down to meet the body, but the body also moving to meet the mind. The process of being attentive to your breathing and walking allows each step to connect you to the Earth.</span></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br style="caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); clear: none; color: #767676; font-size: 15px;" /></span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); color: #767676;">Please register to join me for these walking meditations, 3pm 15 Oct & 5pm 16 Oct - </span><a href="https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/walk-in-lockdown-tickets-182090777417" style="color: black;" target="_blank">https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/walk-in-lockdown-tickets-182090777417</a></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="background-color: white; color: #767676;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">You can listen to my conversation with Ira Ferris discussing </span></span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); color: #767676; font-family: verdana;"><i>Walkdown in Lockdown </i>here - </span><a href="https://soundcloud.com/artemis-projects/eastside-radio-kath-fries-walkdown-in-lockdown-cementa-festival" style="color: black; font-family: verdana;" target="_blank">https://soundcloud.com/artemis-projects/eastside-radio-kath-fries-walkdown-in-lockdown-cementa-festival</a><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJz7mZ8bvYhZxUkZszZJpL2-PUL3cRJMYpTpdcvnb8Myjb04ywPW2WdvejyLLWUiV9xsgLsok59P90EkW9gigM_gXc4trh8kn1uzfXAD0bJrPn6kZ9VIOrTzB58OAHUsfTHQHgzSMM74Te/s1205/Walkdown+in+Lockdown+Kath+Fries.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1181" data-original-width="1205" height="393" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJz7mZ8bvYhZxUkZszZJpL2-PUL3cRJMYpTpdcvnb8Myjb04ywPW2WdvejyLLWUiV9xsgLsok59P90EkW9gigM_gXc4trh8kn1uzfXAD0bJrPn6kZ9VIOrTzB58OAHUsfTHQHgzSMM74Te/w400-h393/Walkdown+in+Lockdown+Kath+Fries.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p style="text-align: center;"><b style="caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); color: #767676; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Cementa Spirit of '21</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); color: #767676; font-size: 15px;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">15 - 16 October 2021</span></span></p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); color: #767676; font-size: 15px; text-align: left;">Live stream - </span><a href="https://cementa.com.au/" style="color: black; font-size: 15px; text-align: left;" target="_blank">cementa.com.au</a><br style="caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); clear: none; color: #767676; font-size: 15px; text-align: left;" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); clear: none; color: #767676; font-size: 15px; text-align: left;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); color: #767676; font-size: 15px; text-align: left;">Cementa is hosting a two-day live streamed program that will bring us together as a community and celebrate the spirit of our creative social body. </span></span><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br style="caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); clear: none; color: #767676; font-size: 15px;" /><div style="text-align: center;"><i style="caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); color: #767676; font-size: 15px;">The Spirit of ‘21 is the ghost of what we have lost and the spirit of what remains.

It is our sorrow and resilience, the exuberance of fear, our ability to laugh and to play, to love and to hope, to dream and create all of which is to risk ourselves, to lose because loss marks the value of what we have.

Man-made texture sprouts from the timber as if alive, its bruise-like hue jarring yet softly cosy, the blues, pinks and magenta of the thread like veins in ageing skin. Next to it, a packing blanket swaddles the wall, veins of white paint visible contours in its relief.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivG3MibeYiEH67cwIzmbh6z2X9H6ed-M2zMRULtlyBWXmwyEN1V0uwJeMYh6pPfs8hMNf3E27cbs0vnDw6kZhDC4HYEdrDAp9CcnR7zEBr4RhT9mbdD6qbjKDYhiNuRWqmRmFRnsGCfkhw/s1590/Screen+Shot+2021-05-21+at+6.10.08+pm.png"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivG3MibeYiEH67cwIzmbh6z2X9H6ed-M2zMRULtlyBWXmwyEN1V0uwJeMYh6pPfs8hMNf3E27cbs0vnDw6kZhDC4HYEdrDAp9CcnR7zEBr4RhT9mbdD6qbjKDYhiNuRWqmRmFRnsGCfkhw/w400-h255/Screen+Shot+2021-05-21+at+6.10.08+pm.png" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGVOYX00PBX2HIchbyecI7CJF5nyGcR8ZDm_k8O4RzExQoiWa_WlnPK93GyJK-LkIpiKLwojxIQqyxA8jPCfaMTsHfo6-CfhHOn0fkEtS3oF8pR2EtokGDMrrEnXFSIov8KkKMJUYsSX7W/s1590/Screen+Shot+2021-05-21+at+6.10.20+pm.png"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGVOYX00PBX2HIchbyecI7CJF5nyGcR8ZDm_k8O4RzExQoiWa_WlnPK93GyJK-LkIpiKLwojxIQqyxA8jPCfaMTsHfo6-CfhHOn0fkEtS3oF8pR2EtokGDMrrEnXFSIov8KkKMJUYsSX7W/w400-h280/Screen+Shot+2021-05-21+at+6.10.20+pm.png" /></a><br /><br />When inSIGHT asks the artist why she chose to use recycled textile felt, she explains that it is symbolic of the woven ecology of the natural world, and she is intrigued by the way it pulls apart and yet clings together, alive with static. It is seemingly so at odds with the raw sprouting life of the natural environment that Fries considers in her work, and yet its warm embrace adds an entirely new element to this collection. As with the mysterious realms of the fungi kingdom, this element is little explored and ripe for adaption.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9cQ4B0ivLKuyrysNCDBc6jq6Eive4ZedSVTabaN4LvwX_aqT4Amid58LNv-nb9rm_djZmcsrC5kXjfmdLMCdiUlKwzjwUcJaDNH_qIwfsl_87R1jIo2w34_KiTU7BXAxqN9VTa2OZf84O/s1590/Screen+Shot+2021-05-21+at+6.10.48+pm.png"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9cQ4B0ivLKuyrysNCDBc6jq6Eive4ZedSVTabaN4LvwX_aqT4Amid58LNv-nb9rm_djZmcsrC5kXjfmdLMCdiUlKwzjwUcJaDNH_qIwfsl_87R1jIo2w34_KiTU7BXAxqN9VTa2OZf84O/w400-h253/Screen+Shot+2021-05-21+at+6.10.48+pm.png" /></a><br /><br />Other works in this exhibition sprout living kingdoms; tan oyster mushrooms bloom from sawdust, mycelium traces the woodgrain of hardwood blocks, and Tasmanian Coral Tooth fungi (Hericium coralloides, above) hangs from felt and angophora bark, its alien, underwater beauty growing in front of your eyes.<br /><br />These works take up to two weeks to seed and grow, and once alive, exist with fleeting impermanence, an ephemeral wonder that is a privilege to witness.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD522Qi1fc1qbNRQvdFzk766eVdeDzCqTbLbWUB3dWa3_jCwx75iuwVgae9BYoX84iKG_FL-0NQ082L_H9zOh_kdzRCrFoyNgCp0usdG-i2EKhEvrifAbGX3QlGchqMPe88U-q08FvwkO7/s1590/Screen+Shot+2021-05-21+at+6.11.06+pm.png"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD522Qi1fc1qbNRQvdFzk766eVdeDzCqTbLbWUB3dWa3_jCwx75iuwVgae9BYoX84iKG_FL-0NQ082L_H9zOh_kdzRCrFoyNgCp0usdG-i2EKhEvrifAbGX3QlGchqMPe88U-q08FvwkO7/w400-h388/Screen+Shot+2021-05-21+at+6.11.06+pm.png" /></a><br /><br />“I like making work that takes on a life of its own – mycelium has a whole kingdom of life unto itself, laced with mystery, and my work develops with its own agency long after I have created it. My art practice is underpinned by my mindfulness and meditation practices, embedded in Buddhist philosophies of impermanence, interconnection and compassion. Working with sculpture, installation and drawing techniques, I link playful sensate experiences that evoke direct empathetic experiences of our ecological interdependency.”<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwFpFBB6J3sKYKQNMmupbhPMiTm4hlgsiCnuZQGGrf8acKGwe-KpUK3K-E_d_RiAcJ3_ugU6X2KVFHCbS024eHETJGu2vTnGvo6Jk6BXmKBf5hfFRpNW98anuotYZQ8IPWAHyLDdhy_8F8/s1590/Screen+Shot+2021-05-21+at+6.10.34+pm.png"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwFpFBB6J3sKYKQNMmupbhPMiTm4hlgsiCnuZQGGrf8acKGwe-KpUK3K-E_d_RiAcJ3_ugU6X2KVFHCbS024eHETJGu2vTnGvo6Jk6BXmKBf5hfFRpNW98anuotYZQ8IPWAHyLDdhy_8F8/w400-h371/Screen+Shot+2021-05-21+at+6.10.34+pm.png" /></a><br /><a href="https://insightlab.org.au/event/kath-fries-embrace/" target="_blank"><br />inSIGHT Lab May 2021</a></span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://insightlab.org.au/event/kath-fries-embrace/" target="_blank">https://insightlab.org.au/event/kath-fries-embrace/ </a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><br /></div>Kath Frieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08375133730470803491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567937028705850285.post-21978970267268801562021-04-26T20:04:00.003+10:002021-05-11T20:41:06.575+10:00Embrace - solo exhibition <p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjo9c1iPqBaLdMh-RJihFlzxt5z31B8GZB6R2v_A63pPpBSHpOY-vOj0kIQjZPDbJmjzjTzEcOcRPtmTJc6SViWnpxKaXHdoCDtmp8_ELH2KMesHj-OW6ZsQ70Vr9kH7eckg_yZRZyVHCf/s1440/KathFries-Embrace-invite-web.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1440" data-original-width="1440" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjo9c1iPqBaLdMh-RJihFlzxt5z31B8GZB6R2v_A63pPpBSHpOY-vOj0kIQjZPDbJmjzjTzEcOcRPtmTJc6SViWnpxKaXHdoCDtmp8_ELH2KMesHj-OW6ZsQ70Vr9kH7eckg_yZRZyVHCf/w400-h400/KathFries-Embrace-invite-web.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br style="caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); clear: none; color: #767676; font-size: 15px; text-align: start;" /><span style="caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); color: #444444; text-align: start;"><b>Embrace - new work by Kath Fries</b></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); color: #444444; text-align: start;"><br /></span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); color: #444444; font-family: verdana; text-align: start;">8 - 29 May 2021</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); color: #444444; font-family: verdana; text-align: start;">Open every Saturday 2-5pm</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br style="caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); clear: none; text-align: start;" /></span><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); text-align: start;">Drinks with the artist Saturday 29 May</span></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;"><br style="caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); clear: none; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); text-align: start;">Our Neon Foe, 411 Parramatta Rd, Leichhardt NSW</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); clear: none; text-align: start;" /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; caret-color: rgb(118, 118, 118); color: #444444; text-align: start;"><br /></span></span></div><span style="color: #444444; font-family: verdana;"><div style="text-align: justify;"><i>Embrace</i> brings together my new sculptures and wall works exploring material metaphors of interconnection, change and continuance. Playfully combining weathered palings and gnarled plywood with recycled textile felt, fungi, paint, beeswax and bark; these works conjure sensuous co-creative narratives of growth and decay. My practice of being attentive to tactile details involves teasing out and entwining mycelium-like felt threads, growing mushrooms and tracing tree rings in old plywood. These processes focus on the immediate connectivity of touch, which then expands further to embrace ecological interdependencies.</div></span><p></p>Kath Frieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08375133730470803491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567937028705850285.post-37322971716450649402021-03-29T09:40:00.007+11:002021-03-29T09:42:38.245+11:00 Fungi x Botanica - Royal Botanic Garden Sydney<p><span style="color: #444444;

I’m grateful for how it brought together so many wonderful early-career artists across Australia and New Zealand, giving them the opportunity to share their diverse practices and supporting new ambitious works. There were numerous people along the way who generously contributed their time, energy and expertise to the growth of the John Fries Award. I’d especially like to express my appreciation to the Viscopy Boards and CEO’s 2009 to 2017, the John Fries Award Committee, Visual Arts team at Copyright Agency, our judging panels and the six fabulous guest curators. <br /><br />Since 2010 the John Fries Award has created a cherished space to reflect on and remember my father, his generosity, encouragement and practical approaches to supporting his family, friends and colleagues to pursue their dreams. I’ve always regretted not giving a eulogy at his funeral. I was too stunned with grief at the time, but the John Fries Award has become, in a sense, my annual eulogy for my father. I’ve been personally involved with the John Fries Award every step of the way, working very closely with most of the curators and the administration team. Having such a personal stake in what has become a high-profile award, has sometimes been challenging as well as deeply rewarding; I still have a twinge of discomfort being on the selection panel judging my peers. <br /> <br />Although it is sad that the John Fries Award is coming to an end, I’m proud of what we have achieved over the years. The extensive list of John Fries Award finalists seems somewhat like an extended family, artists for whom being part of the John Fries Award was an early-career springboard, from which they have gone on to bigger and better things. <br /> <br />Each year when the winner is announced, I’ve been moved by their sincere surprise and humble responses. They were never told beforehand, we insisted on keeping it a secret until the public announcement. My mother, Vivienne Fries, generously funds the award money each year. She is always a bit nervous, but also delighted, to stand up in front of everyone and announce the winner. The audience numbers at the opening events always blew us away. I’m sure they will be there in spirit and online this year when the final John Fries Award winner is announced. Congratulations to all the finalists of the last John Fries Award. My heartfelt appreciation to everyone who has been involved in the John Fries Award journey over the years.<br /><br /> <br />Dr Kath Fries<br />Artist and Founder of the John Fries Award</span></div></div>Kath Frieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08375133730470803491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567937028705850285.post-79767432778106587612021-02-03T17:28:00.003+11:002021-02-03T17:37:25.065+11:00Carriageworks 'No Show' 12 Feb - 7 Mar 2021<div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><span style="font-family: verdana;">I’m thrilled to be exhibiting some of my fungi sculptures with PARI in 'No Show' at Carriageworks.</span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br />12 February to 7 March 2021<br />Wednesday to Sunday, 10am-5pm<br />Carriageworks: 245 Wilson Street Eveleigh NSW</span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><a href="https://carriageworks.com.au/events/no-show/">carriageworks.com.au/events/no-show</a><br /></span><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white;"><i>Carriageworks has invited eleven artist-led initiatives from across New South Wales for No Show.

They transform the environments in which they live. </i></span></blockquote><p></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>It’s a rather generous form of habitation ... The thread-like filaments of a fungus’ root system, the hyphae, spread through the soil. It’s an infrastructure that carries both nutrients and information, sometimes helping an ecosystem respond to threats and filter out pollutants. This infrastructure behaves like an underground city. </i></span></blockquote><p></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Or the internet.</i></span></blockquote><p></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>There’s something here. </i></span></blockquote><p></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>Something in the relationship between the fungal networks that propagate and transform the natural world and the virtual networks we’re tethered to.</i></span></blockquote><p></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>... We often think of mushrooms as independent organisms. They are found intact, as distinct ‘fruits’, when foraged. But beneath the surface, they’re enmeshed; their mycelium (their roots) spread far and wide. They spawn other specimens and create a dense web. Sitting all alone in front of our screens, aren’t we also individual organisms bound by invisible filaments? Aren’t we entangled in our own web? Metaphorical mushrooms, mainlining memes.</i></span></blockquote><p></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i> ... This feels fungal. It’s a form of world-building. I spread myself across otherwise insurmountable physical distances by interacting with others. This is a collaborative ecology. The networked encounters we experience on the internet can be a form of sustenance. They are transformative; they sustain and shape us. We’re back to foraging, figuratively. Remember, it is the interaction between fungi and its ecosystem that determines what grows there (and how). The fungi changes the landscape and determines what survives there. So does the internet.</i></span></blockquote><p></p><p></p><blockquote><span style="font-family: verdana;"><i>To think of social media as sustenance is not to say it’s good for you. Remember, not all mushrooms are okay to eat. We have to carefully identify the species – calculate the risk – before we consume it. Perhaps we should pay heed and follow the same due diligence when foraging for facts on the web? </i></span></blockquote><p> </p><p></p><p><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Extracts from </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">Isobel Parker Philip, </span><span style="font-family: verdana;">"Foraging along forking paths", </span><a href="https://togetherinart.org/foraging-along-forking-paths/" style="font-family: verdana;">https://togetherinart.org/foraging-along-forking-paths/</a></span></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The trunks of these trees have always fascinated me with their thick undulating layers of soft bark, which seem to emanate comfort and mellow presence. Perhaps the local history of the Gadigal Wangal people, cradling their babies in paperbark coolamons, also feeds into my notion of these trees as nurturing guardians and conduits of dreams. </font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;"><font style="color: #9e9e9e; font-family: verdana;">Tentatively striping back the paperbark stratums of colour and texture, pulling away delicate thin sheets, like peeling skin; this process of exploring the paperbark layers becomes meditative. Slipping into analysing my inner-scapes of compounded habits, expectations, experiences and anxieties; self-reflection expanding and contracting with the variations of the stratums. Handling these delicate layers of paperbark, the trees’ stories quietly whispered to me. Imprinted with material memories of traffic fumes, human constructions, rain, drought, summer heat, winter chills, burrowing insects, chirping birds; subtly hinting at ancient arboreal wisdoms of place, reaching root systems far underground despite tarmac roads compressed by heavy trucks and constant car traffic; and stretching branches into the sky towards sunlight. </font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: white;"><font style="color: #9e9e9e; font-family: verdana;">Whisperings of a dreamlike threshold where exterior meets interior, conjuring a porous boundary of contemplation and the reality of interconnectedness. </font></p></div>Kath Frieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08375133730470803491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567937028705850285.post-24549186746226500632020-06-25T10:46:00.003+10:002020-06-25T16:46:33.755+10:00Participatory Hive Drawing session <font face="verdana"><br /></font><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="verdana">On Friday 3rd July, 3pm, I'll be in the gallery talking about my <i>Hive Drawing</i> and inviting people to work on it with me. </font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="verdana">All welcome!</font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="verdana">Occupied Exhibition</font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="verdana">Blue Mountains Cultural Centre</font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="verdana">30 Parke St Katoomba NSW 2780</font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://bluemountainsculturalcentre.com.au/public_programs/occupied-programs/" target="_blank"><font face="verdana">bluemountainsculturalcentre.com.au</font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifrgqAzcKKFvK9QC_VenwdmTaBXpjqzK6ioimqVvfHsiWKBzaP9X-R-8U2UAIxqt7K8CS0ivS0Jc0d05Ucb7u8160nIQwkkVou0koh1cqisQiASlD1JxK8lXFOK9oE7yizxi6ODT3a5Npb/s1240/OCCUPIED+PROGRAMS.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1240" data-original-width="874" height="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifrgqAzcKKFvK9QC_VenwdmTaBXpjqzK6ioimqVvfHsiWKBzaP9X-R-8U2UAIxqt7K8CS0ivS0Jc0d05Ucb7u8160nIQwkkVou0koh1cqisQiASlD1JxK8lXFOK9oE7yizxi6ODT3a5Npb/w354-h500/OCCUPIED+PROGRAMS.jpg" width="354" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV7nWuJ2Mi7ji0YL5L053Qh6x0kPOc9kIswyBTatuAxc9bKGoSMHEAQqzf_U8THtcwGXRCYrxl0ZU5QI-7rCZINlBqzTu3FZOtylFdqxJwoUDnXY_jlPpuL1_rKRuMyyEGNfexji_IVwDV/s2048/HiveDrawingParticipate1.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjV7nWuJ2Mi7ji0YL5L053Qh6x0kPOc9kIswyBTatuAxc9bKGoSMHEAQqzf_U8THtcwGXRCYrxl0ZU5QI-7rCZINlBqzTu3FZOtylFdqxJwoUDnXY_jlPpuL1_rKRuMyyEGNfexji_IVwDV/s320/HiveDrawingParticipate1.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFEmcSfpkvPiIgcpzU84CDkHIVQYV4XekyjXm27HkJlXmWbSqjbfQ7NsmVjLQBZpkT2oHGmwF-a08nNC6a_IWGp_ubbbbDwrUHF-lR5Qd1oEuV1nsUVlUp9-YNbMRRvVxs96YgtO_1lZG_/s2048/HiveDrawingParticipate2.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="2048" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFEmcSfpkvPiIgcpzU84CDkHIVQYV4XekyjXm27HkJlXmWbSqjbfQ7NsmVjLQBZpkT2oHGmwF-a08nNC6a_IWGp_ubbbbDwrUHF-lR5Qd1oEuV1nsUVlUp9-YNbMRRvVxs96YgtO_1lZG_/s320/HiveDrawingParticipate2.jpeg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="verdana"><br /></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><font face="verdana">You can read the Occupied exhibition catalogue <a href="https://issuu.com/bluemountainsculturalcentre/docs/2020_occupied_online" target="_blank">here</a></font></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Kath Frieshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08375133730470803491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7567937028705850285.post-81421563702722181792020-06-01T21:11:00.002+10:002020-06-25T10:26:34.950+10:00Occupied - group exhibition BMCC<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">As Covid19 lockdowns ease in Sydney, the galleries begin to reopen and we’re allowed to travel more freely; I'm delighted to have my participatory work <i>Hive Drawing</i> included in the group exhibition 'Occupied', at Blue Mountains Cultural Centre. This exhibition of expanded drawing forms a timely reflection on how we engage with – and feel about – the built environments that we occupy on a daily basis.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">I started <i>Hive Drawing</i> last year, under very different circumstances pre-Covid19, as part of a 'Super Organism' project with Penelope Cain and Barbara Doran. Then and now, visitors are invited to contribute to the circular patterning, like honeybees building a layer of honeycomb together in the hive. Honeybees are social insects and they live interdependently with each other, this process of working collaboratively is reflected in <i>Hive Drawing</i> – <span lang="">building on the hand-traced circles of your neighbour</span> – and <span lang="">opens up ways of considering how we live together with each other and other beings. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">"... <i>Hive Drawing </i>is a participatory collective drawing reflecting community connections. Each participant is asked to place their hand on the drawing next to an existing circle and draw around it with a beeswax crayon, then dust the circle with turmeric. The result is a collection of golden circles – just touching – collectively creating a drawn expanse of honeycomb. Since social distancing this work takes on new meaning – physical connection is risky and yet incredibly desirable, with a constant balance of risk and judgement ..."<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">- Rilka Oakley, extract from 'Occupied' exhibition essay</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;"><span lang="">Coming out of Covid19 isolation, <i>Hive Drawing </i>invites us to consider how our built environments are social spaces, even the places we consider ‘private’ exist because other people helped build them and lived here before us. What does it mean now to be social and an active member of society? We are at a pivotal point in social history; locally and globally calls for social justice and equality ring out, we need to visualise a better future and find more creative and diverse ways of understanding what this means. </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">“… We are individuals first, yes, just as bees are, but we exist in a larger social body. Society is not only real; it’s fundamental. We can’t live without it. And now we’re beginning to understand that this ‘we’ includes many other creatures and societies in our biosphere and even in ourselves … although we are practicing social distancing as we need to, we want to be social—we not only want to be social, we’ve got to be social, if we are to survive. It’s a new feeling, this alienation and solidarity at once. It’s the reality of the social; it’s seeing the tangible existence of a society of strangers, all of whom depend on one another to survive ... ”<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: x-small;">- <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/culture/annals-of-inquiry/the-coronavirus-and-our-future" target="_blank">Kim Stanley Robinson</a></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms", sans-serif;">‘Occupied’ is curated by Rilka Oakley and features work by Susanna Castleden, Clare Delaney, Kath Fries, Karen Golland, Jody Graham, Virginia Hilyard & Sue Pedley, Catherine O’Donnell, Mollie Rice, Margaret Roberts, Wendy Tsai and Rebecca Waterstone. Through the medium of expanded drawing, ‘Occupied’ examines the artists’ and the viewers’ experience of physical space – the architecture that surrounds us, street scapes, interior and exterior spaces we inhabit and the intersection between the built and natural environment. Scale, texture, tone and different methods of mark making are the primary focus. Making marks is an essential process to many artists and this exhibition explores the raw, tangible nature of drawing.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><b>Breathing: forest sky snow</b></i>, was created during a winter residency at Arteles in Finland. During my first week there while walking in the forest, I often paused to look up into the tops of the trees moving gently in the wind and tried to capture the strange mesmerising quality of those stark silhouettes’ gentle sway. A few nights later, I projected that video footage through my studio window, onto the snow-covered hillslope outside. <i>Breathing: forest sky snow</i>, draws me back into a quiet meditative sensibility, conjuring a cyclic sense of breathing with the Earth. <br /></span><i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Breathing: forest sky snow</i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">,</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> is currently being shown as part of <i>DemoKinisi</i> in the front window at STACKS Projects, 191 Victoria St, Potts Point, from 22 – 28 April 2020, it can also be viewed online <a href="https://vimeo.com/408295856"><span style="color: blue;">vimeo.com/408295856</span></a></span></div>

It is a project with the intent on keeping the physical space of the gallery alive and uncontaminated.<br /><i>DemoKinisi</i> consists of ongoing artwork projections which can only be viewed from the exterior of the gallery space or online. <br /><i>DemoKinisi</i> is presented as a gesture of witnessing. <br />During the twelve-week <i>DemoKinisi</i> program the artists involved will have the opportunity to present work that explore issues around co-existence, daily life, the unknown and perceived reality. The questions that remain to be answered are; how will the anticipated changes in social patterns affect the white cube, and how will we feel when we are allowed back into the gallery space. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /><i>Permutations</i> plays with narratives of interconnection across the transient zone of the Bearded Tit’s back windowpanes. The threads and felt fibres unfurl around tiny mushrooms and beeswax nodules on the clear glass, alluding to the permeability of inside-outside and shifting correlations between binaries and perspectives. A ‘permutation’ is one of several possible ways in which things can relate or be understood in relation to each other. Then in multiple, these possibilities are open-ended, unpredictable and co-evolving. Patterns, rhythms and connections develop and conjure relationships that merge and entangle.<br /><br />A selection of my <i>Respire</i> sculptures can be found in the Bearded Tit's curiosity cabinet. The mushrooms in <i>Respire</i> are dried and dead, displayed like scientific specimens in glass lungs. But when growing, fungi - just like humans - breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide, the opposite to plants. All living systems breathe. Breathing is unavoidably an interconnected ongoing activity; we are always breathing the same air as our surroundings. Each inhale and exhale reaches beyond our skin's porous boundaries.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /><br />These works continue my interest in the shifting relations of material narratives, interconnections and impermanence. </span><i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">Permutations </i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">and</span><i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>Respire</i></span><i style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">are</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> meditative site-responsive works reflecting on ways that we are entangled with the complexity of our surroundings and with each other.

Caught up in intersecting webs of cause and effect, every action, relationship and idea we conjure has the potential to become part of a complex choreography of moving parts. It can feel overwhelming to see yourself as part of this infinite array of possibilities, where everything is connected to everything else. But isn’t that the joy of experimentation? Three artists in MANYBODY THEORY revel in the ‘in-between-ness’ of us and others, our work and the natural world.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><br style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">In our STREETSPACE, Nadia Odlum nods to the messiness of a living arts practice in her installation 'Unseen In Between'. This work is an ode to the unrealised experiments and discoveries that sometimes arise from the cutting room floor. In THE SALON, Kath Fries’ dried oyster mushrooms and recycled textile fibres crawl up The Tit’s windowpanes and spring forth from the walls, holding fast on a bed of beeswax and entangling themselves in architectures. Inside the CURIOSITY CABINET, oversize specimens propagate inside glass lungs like scientific oddities. You as audience are implicated, as these bodies and yours stand across from one another while all inhaling the same air. On our TAXIDERMY T.V., Eva Nolan further complicates the human vs nature divide, presenting a slow, tightening mandala of intricately drawn species that that render such divisions absurd.</span><br style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="caret-color: rgb(29, 33, 41); color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hey, at least we can all acknowledge that “it’s complicated”.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>Hive Drawing</i> is a 400cm wide scroll drawing using handmade beeswax crayons, pollen and turmeric. Each participant joins their closed hand to the outline of a proceeding one and draws around its circumference, continuously building onto what has been drawn before. The subtle wax markings are then dusted with pollen and turmeric, making them more visible. Both honey and turmeric are often referred to as superfoods as they have natural active compounds with potent ant-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Brushing the turmeric and pollen onto the wax drawing by hand is also suggestive of the crisis of insect pollinator losses, in some parts of China farmers have to pollinate their crops by hand, painstakingly spreading pollen from plant to plant using a paintbrush. <i>Hive Drawing (collaboration)</i> brings people into contact with the tactile and aromatic nature of these materials, connecting them to each other via this haptic hand mapping. The work will grow and unfurl over the duration of the exhibition, tracing out further interconnections and shifting understandings linked by the honeycomb-like repeated shapes of each individual participating hand. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">This work is part of the <i>Super-organism </i>exhibition by Kath Fries, Penelope Cain and Barbara Doran, exploring pattern finding and self-organising systems. The term super-organism is usually used to describe an interdependent social organisation where individuals are not able to survive by themselves for extended periods. Classically this term is applied to insects, but we are reinterpreting it more widely negotiating the interdependence of individuals and the collective nature of exchange systems. As the anthropocentric world has become increasingly digitalised, expanded notions around super-organisms as a mode of being are becoming increasingly relevant. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Our <i>Super-organism</i> project plays out as generative and responsive evolving conversations, beginning with an interest in honeybees as a typical super-organism and an indicator species of ecological change. This expands into creative engagements with human systems of economy from an individual and colony perspective; to systems of information exchange, from the analogue of speech, breathing and wing-vibration, to digital networks and eco-systems. Such creative engagements contribute to wider haptic discourses addressing the growing need to develop embodied practices of interconnection that draw on ecological resilience. </span><br />

And the number one lesson is that resilience is the key. Resilience, not dominance, is the real strength, especially in hard times. And the secret to resilience is connected diversity, cohesion, cooperative coexistence. That means that in many ways our most important task right now is to build social cohesion while learning to live within natural limits ... all these point the way towards holding off the worst ecological impacts of climate disruption while building the resilience to avoid the societal collapse it could trigger …</b><o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">For this exhibition we have developed some physical outcomes from our conversations about super-organisms as modalities to negotiate the interdependence of individuals and the collective nature of exchange systems. In the gallery space, the works unfold this concern in an organic series of static, moving and participatory works, utilising physical space, sound and smell. Avoiding perpendicular lines, smooth surfaces and resolved edges, these works invite engagement, change and messiness. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i>Super-organism </i>is a multi-media, multi-sensory project by Penelope Cain, Barbara Doran and Kath Fries, exploring pattern finding and self-organising systems. The term super-organism is usually used to describe an interdependent social organisation where individuals are not able to survive by themselves for extended periods. Classically this term is applied to insects, but we are reinterpreting it more widely negotiating the interdependence of individuals and the collective nature of exchanges systems. As the anthropocentric world has become increasingly digitalised, expanded notions around super-organisms as a mode of being are becoming increasingly relevant. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">HIDDEN 2019 invites you on a contemplative and creative journey through one of the oldest sections of Rookwood Cemetery. Find your own pathways and connections, guided by site-responsive artworks engaging with the layered narratives and heritage of this special place. Experience handling cemetery soil, ritualised remembrances, heart-felt emotions and personal stories of memory and loss. Consider reflections on everyday life shaped by the inevitability of death, which resonates into the ways we choose to live, love, fear, believe and hope. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Jewish, Buddhist, Christian and Muslim traditions inform several of these works, others draw on atheist, agnostic and broader spiritualties: reflecting the cultural, social and religious diversity of Western Sydney today. Our cycles of life – from birth to death – are entangled with the people, places and ecologies of the world we live in. Some of these artworks address a poignant sense of mourning environmental deaths, escalating extinctions and the pervasiveness of our climate crisis, prompting consideration about what it means to be alive here and now. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Farewelling loved ones and returning their remains to the Earth is significant in all cultures throughout history. Here on Dharug country, it is important to remember the vast scope of human spiritual and physical connection to this place, stretching back tens of thousands of years. Many of the HIDDEN 2019 artists reflect on their families’ immigration history, from Pakistan, Ireland, Canada, Sri Lanka, Loa, Iraq and China. Travel continues as several of our artists are on residencies in Japan, USA, Germany and Indonesia, while others live in Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, Adelaide and Norway. Congratulations to all of the artists, it has been a pleasure working with you and the team at Rookwood. I’ve greatly appreciated the stories, memories and responses to place that you have shared with me over the past few months. </span><br />

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Pause a minute to inhale and exhale. Inhale again, this time apprehending that for all our specific and nuanced words for looking, there are far fewer equivalent words for smelling. Draw in the rich, animalic aroma of mushrooms, past your skin’s bounds to deep within you. It’s of you, and you are of it. It’s all connected. It’s all now.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Interconnectivity and co-creation between Kath Fries and living material has generated <i>Entanglements</i>. Recycled industrial felt, its past fibre life still distinctly evident, has been curved, twined, and rubbed between the artist’s palms to form new branches, tendrils, and capillaries. Fungus-forming mycelium reaches through the felt to spawn new lives, the mushrooms’ colouration uncannily reflecting a thread here, a tuft there. Curious shards have been recuperated from an alternate junk-heap fate. With both rough and smooth surfaces, these fragments speak simultaneously of interiority and exteriority, of positive and negative spaces, form and void. These aren’t binary states, but rather suggest a permeating wholeness: a galaxy of connection expanding across the gallery and down into the microcosmic worlds of the terraria that house the fungi. Death and life are intermingled; in Fries’ vocabulary, the underworld that the ancient Greeks feared teems with creation, mirroring the world of light above. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Late capitalism has deeded us the Anthropocene era in which the things we produce, consume, and discard cause universal damage. Fries’ holistic comprehension of life counters this focus on individual gain achieved at all costs, including unchecked growth and oppression. An artwork doesn’t need to be monumental to be deeply materialised, nor does it need to be tradable to be significant. <i>Entanglements </i>models an alternative mode of being to capitalism’s products: a quiet, democratic attentiveness to the infinite and crucial interrelationships that comprise us all. Step closer. Pick your way through the works on the floor. Notice where your feet fall. Feel the forms. This consideration of somatic experience proposes a coming to understanding through haptic values. In this way of thinking, spectatorship–remember all those words for seeing–is only one way to attend, reflect, and understand. In navigating both the greater world and works of art via multisensory perception, we gain the opportunity to recognise our interrelationships with all things. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-GB">At the core of Fries’ work lies her Buddhist appreciation of impermanence. <i>Entanglements </i>reminds us that life is flux and the act of creativity is ongoing, ever-changing, and relational. Walking meditations led by Fries in the Auburn Botanic Gardens cultivate attention to the present (at polar remove from the Gardens’ annual cherry blossom Insta-frenzy). As Rebecca Solnit suggests, </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">“Walking shares with making and working that crucial element of engagement of the body and the mind with the world, of knowing the world through the body and the body through the world.”<a href="https://www.blogger.com/null" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align: super;"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference" style="vertical-align: super;"><span lang="EN-GB">[1]</span></span></span></a>We might further consider that walking (through a garden, through an artwork) invites consciousness of the self’s integration with the world, </span><span lang="EN-GB">and in this way points to some recognition that we are both more and less than ourselves</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="background-color: white; color: #181818;">. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="color: windowtext;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It’s a sad irony that as global extinctions accelerate, our understanding of its other forms of intelligence is deepening: plants learn through experience and warn one another of hazards; animals use tools and work cooperatively. Like these collective intelligences, <i>Entanglements </i>is a symbiotic co-creation with other species, coming into being through the artist’s careful tending. The words ‘tend’ and ‘attend’ derive from the same Latin root word. That which we bring our awareness to, we care for. Take care. Pay attention. Feel this. It’s all of us, and more than us.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
