Communion
The leaves and petals of a flower emerge, each on its own, blooming as a representation of the genetics and "memory" that grew from the seed. This seed previously belonged to a flower that shed it, and so on back through time. This process holds true for us as well. Our personalities, physical features, talents and so on all grow from the seed of the humans who came before, each in turn affected by their environment. This chain of influence stretches on and on through time. There is no escaping our connectedness, not only with our membership in the human race but also with our participation in the natural universe at large.
(As one of the owners of the Woolworths project, I’ve had the privilege of being intimately involved with every inch of this historic building. During construction, we discovered layers of original wallpaper hidden beneath the surface. Intrigued by its texture and history, I was inspired and saved as much as I could. These pieces are a blend of that original wallpaper and my own handmade, hand-painted paper. They embody the spirit of the project itself: “holding hands with the past while walking into the future.” We’ve taken an old building, rough around the edges but beautiful in so many ways, and merged it with our vision and intention. The result is something entirely new, a harmony of past and present.)
