Yesterday was Earth Day! a day to reconsider how we use our natural resources and to celebrate Mother Earth.
In honor of this day I took my girls out into the wildness, to commune with nature! and by their initial reactions you would have thought I had told them we were going to the dentist - they were not happy. But I grab my camera and drove to the pond by Wellesley College and soon everyone was enjoying themselves.
I also made a dress ~ drawn on a concrete/slate structure we found in the woods. It appeared as people have used this place for bonfires ~ so it was flush with drawing material: charcoal. Harriet and I went to town and Maya documented the event.
With charcoal in hand and a clean 'slate' in front of me - I was moved to draw a dress with an anatomical heart with veins or roots reaching out?!?! The anatomy of the heart is an image that I am very attached to lately and felt appropriate for the day ~ our earth is the beating heart of our existence, something that we must care for and tender to.
