A POTION CREATED WITH RA WALDEN,
based on their artwork by the same title, at Storm King Art Center
A BEACON FOR A BODY OUT OF PLACE
In a culture where we are valued by what we produce,
a body in pain is a body out of place.
From well to sick, healed to hurt, able to unable,
we shift in and out of social acceptance.
Exiled to othered states,
let's constellate across vast distances—
creating new worlds of meaning,
new ways of inhabiting our bodies
and bodies of land
together.

my body is vast and unknowable as Space, my body (wherever I land) is home, there are others out there
+ BURNING GRASS
Annual prescribed burn in Storm King’s Native Grass Program — adapted from the Cultural Burns of Indigenous land stewards
my body is constant transformation, death and clearing make way for new measures of meaning, new worlds to share, hope
