“What we pay attention to grows”
Adrienne Maree Brown
The Process
Collect
Whether it’s natural materials, memories, or ideas, collecting is the beginning glimmers of creativity.
Create
Explore making as a form of presence and play. Creating is a space to experiment, express, and enjoy the process.
Adorn
Adorning gives meaning, release, or renewal to what you’ve made: Decorating your home, gifting to someone, even tearing your art apart.
