Mapping the Terrain exhibition @HBHQ

I made these drawings in 2021 and shortly after that the whole world went to crap. No it wasn't my making. It's taken until now to have the opportunity to show them in real life as they say.

Happy to have the help of HBHQ helping me get the show up for visitors and for other artists in the building to experience. I'm expecting to have it ready for the fall. 

David Zimmer a poet discovered the series of drawings I made. He sent me a note that he was inspired to write a poem for each drawing and asked my permission to write and to show my drawings alongside his poems.

I also turned them into an art and poetry zine.

Copies of the zine will be available for folks to see and purchase if they like.

 

 

ABOUT THE POET

David Zimmer says: I curate a writing page on ello. @thewriting-group. I look for work that interests and excites me. I saw Stells’s drawings and read about her processionals and i put it on the writing group page.

Stella said, “I hope this inspires someone”.

Well, I’m your huckleberry.
