“We strive to grow, judging progress, ambition and success by the increase of productivity and output. However, we have reached a stage where year on year economic growth as it stands, is beginning to suffocate us under unmanageable quantities of waste and residue. Our obsession with growth has also given us climate change, and an increase in weather anomalies…..We need to grow better habits and reconnect with our own importance. Every choice we make locally, has an impact globally. We cannot exist as individuals, as everything we do inextricably links us to people and the environment anywhere in the world. Water we pollute here, will affect the health of fish that migrate to other parts of the world. How we shop influences livelihoods and people we will never even meet…..Growing Under One Sky asks artists to examine what the act of growing means within this context. ” ~ ArtCan curators.

Thank you to the following curators for selecting my work for exhibition.

“ArtCan Green Team – Lawrence Mathias, Catherine Fenton, Hannah Pratt, Cat Coulter, Elly Platt, curating Growing Under One Sky is part of our Green Team commitment to bring opportunities to like minded artists, offering a platform to express their voices regarding environmental issues and solutions.” ~ ArtCan.

“How we ache for that which time has taken. To sup ourselves on memories of Maytime and June, gorging on lost and stolen moments. We may think of our childhood, our firsts, be it love or time. Our memories may be flooded with people and places made to feel like home. For moments where this life existed under the rays of the sun no matter the time or season. How these instances of gold are marked in unquantifiable joy, pleasure, love, and safety. Can we ever believe they will last forever, when such things can be touched by loss, heartbreak, and fear? As these golden times pass and we reflect upon and mourn them as they fade to green, it is our memories of them that solidify them in eternity.”

“As Robert Frost reminds us “Nothing Gold Can Stay”, the thirty-seven artists and writers showcased in our third issue at Forget-Me-Not Press show us their own versions of Gold in the many forms it can appear. We hope this issue of Forget-Me-Not Press takes you back to those precious moments that you can never truly lose as long as you remember them. ” Forget-Me-Not Press Team.
