15th July - Karen Spy - Arbor Vitae - Emergency Intervention V
Karen's work pays attention to integrity and healing through attentive labour and ritual process. ‘Mindful Actions’ incorporate myth and significant symbolism; these actions are often ‘Emergency Interventions’ - Social Sculpture, with the sole intention of restoring balance.
“The idea of Shamanism in the West today is often associated with commercialized spiritual confusion and nostalgic escapism. But at a serious level it is a reminder of a human constant without which we would be drastically impoverished: the need to come into intense physical and psychological contact with the material world, to understand and feel it’s energetic substance rather than skim over the surface of experience. Without this the process of life is perilously abstract, and another cycle of alienation is completed.”
C. Tisdall
