Shut-In Open Studio

PictureShannon she/her/hers Molalla, OR I was immediately inspired to complete a page that has laid incomplete in my journal for months, and it was because the current situation brings up those same dark emotions of despair, loneliness, pain, etc. I'm very pragmatic, so my immediate response to this epidemic was "What can we do?". And in my journey with finding the collage materials and relating them to one another, I realized the good that is also coming out of these dark emotions and times, the strength I have within, the opportunity I have to grow in ways I never would have, the amazingness of the people who are in my life...
Chances are you are in the same boat as me?
Sheltering in place and social distancing.
This has been very difficult for me. My usual day to day is full of social interaction. Between my groups and individuals that I work with. Now my days are just myself and my two dogs, until my spouse comes home in the evening and is with me on the weekends. Fortunately, I have a writing project with a deadline which is helping in filling up some of the days. I am still making time to make art. It is quiet and at times a bit hauntingly alone.

This is the reason we created the Shut-In Open Studio project. The newest of the Artist/Humankind: Location/Earth (AHLE). It's a space where anyone can submit a piece of art in reflection of what is going on around us, with what ever content is on that artist's mind. You are not alone!

No art experience necessary.
No age requirement.
Just EMAIL a JPEG of your piece to me and include the following:
  • Name
  • Pronouns
  • Location
  • 3-5 sentences relating to your feelings about what is going on in the world
I hope you will connect with us!
Images can be seen at the AHLE Instagram and also on the AHLE Facebook

Acknowledgements: It is with deep respect and gratitude that I acknowledge that I reside and work on the traditional homelands of the Cowlitz and Clackamas tribes. I acknowledge and honor with reverence those who have stewarded this land, through colonization, systemic racism, structural racism, and genocidal policies. Additionally, I hold in the highest esteem those who have been historically enslaved upon this land, as well as those who may have been excluded to this land due to race, national origin, citizenship, and ethnicity. I offer some of my art therapy services at no charge to those who's homelands I occupy. If this applies to you or someone you know and you'd like to find out more please contact me.
