\nI have spent the past 6 month or so vacillating between despair and action. Luckily, action won out and I decided to spend my time caring for myself and offering up what I could to help others. I am so grateful to Ogden Contemporary Arts for commissioning a performance, \u201cDispatch from Solitude #1: Walking the Unknown Path,” in June. It allowed me to think and feel deeply about the multiple pandemics we are in the midst of \u2014 Covid 19, systemic racism, and divisiveness. The performance is a pilgrimage through Emigration Canyon and, metaphorically, through the Valley of Death. It holds space for fear, courage, isolation, refuge, gratitude and mortality. To watch the 8-minute performance video, created by Dylan Totaro, go to Ogden Contemporary Art<\/a>.<\/div>\n

What I mostly have been doing is setting up The Store of Wishes. It is a tiny store that sells objects of wonder \u2014 some made by me and others gathered from all over the world. I am opening it up by appointment only these days and anyone can schedule a time to visit by emailing (storeofwishes@gmail.com<\/a>). I will give directions when I confirm the time. \u00a0There is no need to purchase anything. It is a just a lovely place to come visit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
