"STRENGTH OF DESTINATION"
Carole Jones
"We have
learned to see the great events of world history from below, from the
perspective of those who are excluded, under suspicion, ill-treated,
powerless, oppressed and scorned, in short, those who suffer."
Dietrich Bonhoeffer

What are we here on earth
for?
....To give human life the dignity of a purpose?
Thursday, April 3 was a special day for us.
Sylvie T came in from Nantes, France a bit fearful because of the clash
in our countries views and John Slavik drove in from Chicago, Illinois
despite the economic dilemma of our country. We as an artistic community
hold strong to the view of a better way to life's passages with more
humanitarian action... we must begin with ourselves. A piece of
John's work shows the hand pulling up his community of friends as he moves to
the top. 
I think
that could be a juxtaposition to understanding the suppression and ill
treatment that crosses the world regarding the subject of racism, gender and
beliefs; that the
importance of diversity is a necessary factor to better understand our global world. That
no matter where we come from we have a purpose and having the
opportunity to express it. We all need to mentor the way.
It is with this that we dedicate this exhibition with the thought of
compassion for our world crisis at this moment in time.
