Just saw this come up on my google alert…Thanks for the nod, Constance. My work is so much about the people I work with and places I work in and, most importantly, about promoting conversations around the complex issues affecting them both that I’m always curious how it’s received in a more artful art world context. I love the cross over and feel it’s completely relevant (I approach my work with all of the above in mind), but many people don’t get that. Thank you for recognizing whatever you saw. I’d love feedback from you and your readers on an actual exhibition related to these themes called People of the Forest (more info at “peopleoftheforestexhibition[dot]com”)
